This course discusses the fundamental techniques used in the
physical layer of a digital communication system. The main topics are as
follows: digital modulation, including complex baseband representations, the
concept of the signal space, optimal demodulation, bit error probability
analysis, as well as timing and carrier recovery; error control techniques,
including soft decision decoding and the Viterbi
algorithms; and various kinds of equalization (linear, decision feedback, and
maximum likelihood sequences estimation). Sub topics of the equalization
section include pulse shaping and eye diagrams. The emphasis may vary slightly
in different offerings.
