This course discusses various implementation and
practical issues for building digital communication
circuits.
Topics covered include:
Channel capacity, matched-filtering, intersymbol interference, PAM,
digital equalization, analog equalization, partial-response,
Viterbi detection, wired
channel modelling CAP, QAM and DMT modulation, infrared channels and
modulation. Also PLL circuits and clock recovery.
Note: Much of the
material will be at the system level while other material is at
the transistor level. Students should have the background for both.
