The aim is to provide an insight into the choice of access techniques employed in future generation wireless networks. Analytical tools for describing information transfer and uncertainty are discussed and applied to practical data and communication systems. The key parameters that govern transmission power and bandwidth of a communication network are introduced. The unit examines both analogue and digital modulation schemes, and coherent and non-coherent detection techniques.
Students will become familiar with the theoretical basis underlying all discrete communication systems and acquire the fundamental analysis skills required for modern communications networks.
