Wireless Communications EEE 414 Spring 03+00+02 Elective 4 5
Academic Unit: Electrical-Electronics Engineering
Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: -
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental models and techniques used in the operation of wireless communication systems.
Course Contents: Topics: Wireless channel models, channel capacity, diversity, OFDM, CDMA, multiple antenna systems and multiuser systems.
br>Projects: PHY Layer Securiy Project, Implementation of Nonorthogonal Waveforms, Implementation of Flexible Numerology PHY Layer Architecture, Multipath Channel Modeling in University Laboratories
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Ability to characterize the variation in received signal power over distance due to path loss and shadowing
  • 2- Ability to model and characterize the wireless multipath channel
  • 3- Ability to determine the capacity of single-user wireless channels
  • 4- Ability to apply diversity techniques to mitigate the effects of fading
  • 5- Ability to investigate multiple-input multiple output systems and advantages
  • 6- Ability to implement multi carrier modulation techniques
  • 7- Ability to work individually and in a team, write technical reports and present.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: The course consists of 4 project based modules. It is for the internalization of concepts through practices (applications or observations) after the first week of lecture in each module consisting of 3 weeks. By making a project at the end of each module, the students are asked to apply and present the concepts they learned in the module in a project. The weight of the applications in the course evaluation is 20%, in the project evaluation the weight of the project report is 20%, the project presentation is 20% and the peer review for project presentation is 10%.
