Key features
- Blends the signal space approach to modulation with the filtering approach, giving students a grasp of practical implementation alongside a geometrical understanding
- Covers error control coding, including algebraic block codes, LDPC codes and convolutional codes
- Provides hands-on experience of developing algorithms for processing signals, such as GPS signal processing to determine satellites in range, the associated Doppler shift to synchronize timing, and frequency offset from an actual data set
