EE 647 Digital Communications II

This is the third course in the communications theory sequence. After a short review of the material covered in the earlier courses, the study of coding theory is continued. Multiplexing and Multiple Access techniques are then introduced with emphasis on Spread Spectrum Systems and source coding/decoding is also covered.
