Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
This course aims to: (1) Provide a comprehensive coverage of digital communication systems focused on access networks technologies ; (2) Understand each advanced functionnality of the unified block diagram of a digital communication system physical layer ; (3) Design a communication link with a targeted quality (SNR, bandwidth, bit rate).
Content of UE
Evolution and main characteristics of access networks; OFDM modulation to be used in the frame of fading, dispersive and impulsive channels (wireless, xDSL, PLC, …); Performance parameters of a link (SNR, MER, EVM, PAPR) and diagnosis tools; Spread spectrums and applications; Advanced access methods (CDMA, OFDMA); MIMO communications; Principles of channel equalization; Channel coding (RS, LDPC, concatenated codes) and interleaving; Introduction to communications for automotive and automation systems.
Prior Experience
Basic of digital communications : channel coding, baseband transmission, modulation (ASK, PSK, FSK, QAM), BER calculation in AWGN, performance parameters (BER, eye diagram, SNR), Nyquist ISI, capacity of a channel.
