Course Objectives

Objectives as audited by ABET accreditation agency Identify

Concepts of pass band coherent and non-coherent modulation systems

Societal and global issues in communication regulatory affairs Apply Principles

Angle modulation and demodulation to send and receive information Random processes to analyze the source and magnitude of error in

information reception Signal analysis to optimal and efficient modulation systems Information theory to improve the performance of digital

communication systems See Temple course web site for more information

Study Plan 8EE320 Spring 2005

Course Summary

Thirteen weeks of classes Two in-progress exams, one final exam

Open book Practice exam prior to first exam In-progress on 5th and 9th weeks, 20% of grade Take-home supplementary exam Final on fifteenth week, 40% of grade

Individually assigned project Assigned in fifth week Execute your project in SystemView 40% of grade

Deductions from final grade 0.5% for each unexcused absence 1% for each missed 10 minute Pop Quiz response

Course Content EE320 is audited by ABET

Content is defined as part of curriculum Course as formulated here is part of Temple’s

accreditation agreement with ABET Content is selection of subjects from text

Selection is based on omitting overlap with EE300 Topics included are selected to support curriculum

EE320 is part of a degree program Material builds on prerequisites Material supports follow-on courses

The Term Project

Continue with the start that you turned in with the first quiz backup Input

Frequency sweep 1000 Hz to 3500 Hz Noise to obtain 20 dB SNR

Sampling to obtain good performance Do NOT pitch your beginning and pick up the

ADC to bitstream modules as a template Sample and encode/decode as instructed Measure BER vs. Eb/N0 as instructed Compare hard decoding with soft decoding

Topics (1 of 2) Propagation and Noise Modulation

FDMA Pulse shading, power spectra, and FDMA Bit Error Rate

Coding Information theory, and convolutional codes Maximum likelihood decoding Noise performance TDMA

Topics (2 of 2)

Spread spectrum CDMA Direct-sequence modulation Spreading codes and orthogonal spreading factors Gold codes Code synchronization Power control Frequency hopping and spread spectrum

Wireless architectures

Other Topics

Examples Antennas

Some elements in Chapter 2 Basic principles of antenna gain are given Supports the link budget equations

Spacecraft constellation design – Out of scope of the course Limitations and prerogatives

EE320 has a lot of topics for 13 weeks – time is tight Some controlled digression or exposition for context or to

supplement the text material is good Time spent on unplanned material must not push

planned topics out of the course

Scope of the Study Plan

Suggested extra readings Scope of the topics Homework problems

Selected for their study value Chosen to take about 15 minutes apiece From the Text Three to five per chapter

Suggested examples from the text

Coverage of the Study Plan

Text, Chapters 1 through 3 More will be added as they are needed Extra topics are available

SystemView examplesModulation/demodulation

Feedback and Consultation

Let me know by email whenever you Are behind in the reading Have a problem with a study item

Specific issues, please Good: “I don’t understand Problem 2.1 p. 18” Good: “I need a little explanation of Example 2.17 pp. 75-76” Bad: “I don’t understand Chapter 1”

Channels Email

Simple, one-time issues such as Good above Anything that is between you and I

Office – Topics that require a conversation, not a single answer or response

Phone – during office hours only; email or visit preferred

Study Problems Overview

Several are given for each chapter Pick the easiest first

Some of the longer or more difficult problems are marked as such here – don’t do them first

If you have difficulty with a problem and can’t resolve your problems with the text, put it aside and come back to it later

In the event of difficulty If an example is given, go through it thoroughly first Re-read the text sections relating to the problems Put it aside and come back to it after you work others If the difficulty persists, send me an email

Emails to the Professor Give the problem number State your difficulty as specifically as possible

Chapter 1

No homework problems in the text Look at it for an overview of the text

Chapter 2 Study Problems

Problem 2.1 p. 18, simple antenna gain equation Problem 2.5 p. 29, ground path loss, with answer Example 2.4 and problem 2.6, p. 33, availability Example 2.7 and Problem 2.9, pp. 43-44, Doppler Example 2.9, an algebraic representation of multipath Example 2.14 pp. 67-68, noise figure Example 2.18 and problem 2.20, pp. 76-77 Them Example 1 pp. 82-83

Chapter 3 Study Problems Problem 3.1 p. 108, amplitude modulation is nonlinear (what about SSB?) Problem 3.2 p. 110, a simple illustration of sidebands Problem 3.3, p. 112, AM sidebands from pulse modulation Problem 3.4 p. 119, take some time to do a Fourier transform, with answers Example 3.4 and problem 3.5, pp. 121-122, a comparison of pulse shaping; example

was given in class Problem 3.11 p. 139, find the zeros of SB(f) as given by eq. (3.65) p. 138; answer may

be wrong Problem 3.12, Weiner-Hoph equation; an advanced (difficult) problem Examine and understand Table 3.4 p. 159, a fundamental topic in bit error rate Problem 3.17 p. 173, modulation; a long problem – think about how you would work

this one with SystemView Problem 3.30, p. 177, Adjacent channel interference Problem 3.35 p. 178, look at part (a); part (b) was done in class Problem 3.36 p. 178, an intermediate difficulty problem in bit error rate using MSK
