TELCOM 2710 in Spring 2006

TELCOM 2710 will be offered in the spring semester 2006. There are changes to the course resulting from among other things, the faculty decision to temporarily not offer some classes, including TELCOM 2725: CDMA. The modified 2710 will not cover the basic concepts of modulation as it used to in the past (this is moved into TELCOM 2210), but will instead look at advanced topics in the physical layer. This includes a study of radio propagation in different environments, its effects on digital transmission, and the modulation and coding techniques that are employed to overcome its effects in wireless systems. We will however cover CDMA in more detail in this class. 2710 is now required as part of the preliminary exam for all Ph.D. students in Telecommunications.
