Syllabus
The course deals in general with the different techniques for the transmission of information in digital form. Starting form the basics of Information Theory about source and channel encoding, it gives a working knowledge of the main narrowband and wideband digital signalling techniques (including multicarrier and spread spectrum) as well as of channel coding. This is also complemented by notions about the main impairments deriving from signal transmission over the physical media (mainly the wireless radio channel), together with the main detection and signal processing techniques that are used to counteract such phenomena.
