(27) Course description, organization. Lecture 1: Introduction to Communications

9=September

(1)  Lecture 2: Signal functions, Integration, orthogonality, power, energy.

(3) Lecture 3 :Fourier Transforms

9=September

(8)  Lecture 4: FT functions

V1: Use MATLAB to determine and plot the magnitude of the FFT of a rectangle function, and a sine wave. The duty cycle of the rectangle function is about 1/10 and the discrete frequency of the sine wave should be k=8. Where we have cos(2 pi k n / N) for a sequence length of N. Let N=256

 

(10) Lecture 5: Fourier Series

HW #1: 2.6 Dirac delta functions, 2.10 E&P signals, 2.27 signal synthesis, 2.30 FT,

(15) Lecture 6: Orthogonality PSD, autocorrelation, LTI

 

(17)  Active Filtering

HW #2: 2.33 FT, 2.38 FT, 2.39 FT

V2: Download and follow directions from V2 Word Doc. Process 2009 class data as a binary spread spectrum signal. (NO sharing code but you can talk about it all you want with other people).

V6 ISI Visualization. See ee511 web page.

Project A: Download last years Final project from the web. Rewrite a modulator to perform On/Off keying (35 points). Use approximately 16 cycles per bit and 16 samples per cycle. How many bits are you trying to transmit (5 points)? Show first 10 bit values after On/Off keying (20 points). Show DFT of the signal prior to entering the channel (20 points). Show the DFT of the output from the channel (20 points). You may have 2 people per team.

(19) NO CLASS

11

(24) 

Project B: Download last years Final project from the web. Rewrite a modulator to perform DSBSC where a high bit has an amplitude of 1 and a low bit has an amplitude of -1 (30 points). Use approximately 16 cycles per bit and 16 samples per cycle. How many bits are you trying to transmit (5 points)? Show first 10 bit values. Show DFT of the signal prior to entering the channel (10 points). Show the DFT of the output from the channel (10 points). Rewrite a demodulator program to demodulate the bit stream (30 points) and use Bcheck to verify the reception of the data (15 points). You may have 2 people per team.
