Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	BASICS OF MULTICARRIER MODULATION - OFDM principle; - Effects of channel distortions (channel response, nonlinearities, phase noise) on the performance; - Adaptive bit-loading, waterfilling principle; - Peak-to-average power ratio problem and mitigation methods.
2.	SYNCHRONIZATION AND CHANNEL ESTIMATION: - Frequency synchronization; - Symbol synchronization; - Pilot based and data aided channel estimation.
3.	DIVERSITY AND MULTIANTENNA TECHNIQUES: - Coded OFDM and frequency diversity; - Receiver antenna diversity; - Basics of space-time coding and MIMO-OFDM.
4.	OTHER RELATED CONCEPTS: - Multicarrier CDMA; - DFT-spread OFDM and frequency-domain equalization in single-carrier transmission; - Pulse shaping based MC systems.
5.	APPLICATIONS: - Digital broadcasting: DAB, DVB-T/H, ISDB-T; - WLAN: 802.11a/g/n; - WiMAX: 802.16; - 3GPP-LTE; - ADSL, VDSL.
