Modern broadband wireless systems such as WiFi, point-to-point microwave radio, cellular systems and digital broadcast radio demand high data rates in order to accommodate voice, video and data services. These systems must achieve this with limited available radio frequency spectrum. Technological advancements in digital modulation, signal processing and antennas address this need. This course gives students background in these advancements, broadband channel modeling, broadband wireless channel impairments, channel capacity, spectral efficiency and applications of digital broadband communication systems. Students use appropriate tools to analyze, design, configure and test fixed broadband wireless communication systems such as point-to-point microwave and satellite.
