Course Objective:
The mail goal of the course is to present the most current insight into the
field of spread-spectrum techniques with emphasis on
code-division-multiple-access communications systems.
Topics:
1. Introduction to Spread-Spectrum concept and its implications.
2. Direct Sequence and Frequency Hopped Spread-Spectrum systems.
3. Spread-Spectrum signal generation: Binary shift-register sequences for
Spread-Spectrum systems.
4. Multiuser CDMA systems.
5. Spread-Spectrum signal propagation (multipath, co-channel interference,
narrowband interference).
6. Receiver-Design concepts for CDMA communications. (synchronization,
demodulation)
7. Adaptive interference suppression for CDMA systems.
8. Special Topics:
- CDMA Technology
- Multirate CDMA
- Anti-Jam Communications
- GPS Technology and Satellite Communications
- Smart Antennas
- Turbo-Codes and CDMA
