et 4355 SPECIAL COURSE Digital Communication Receiver Design

Prof. C.R. Johnson (Cornell University)

Digital Communication Receiver Design ---concepts of communication via Software Defined Radio

Introduction

This special course by a famous visiting professor will discuss "digital communication receiver design". The aim is to build a complete digital radio receiver (in Matlab) that includes each part of a typical digital communication system. In each session, a part of the system is explored, e.g. the demodulation, the automatic gain control, the receiver filtering and adaptive equalizer, timing recovery, etc.

The final session (also the exam) is to piece everything together and demodulate a test signal.
