Additional information
The major has a wide scope, encompassing three different basic technology areas needed in today's broadband wireless communication devices and systems: 1. Radio Systems: Wireless system level view, wireless networking principles, radio resource management, radio network planning. 2. Communication signal processing: Signal and system theoretic view to wireless communication links. Modulation and coding techniques, RF impairments and RF system design principles, signal processing in receivers and transmitters. 3. RF Communication Circuits: Analog and mixed circuit design for wireless communications equipment; main emphasis on RF ASIC development. The major contents are typically built up as a combination of areas 1 and 2 or areas 2 and 3, with possibilities for personalization depending on student's interest.
