Additional information
This advanced study module has a wide scope, encompassing different basic technologies needed in today's broadband wireless communication systems. Broad coverage of basic level courses is recommended, but the advanced studies should be focused in one of the following three areas: 1. Communication Networks and Protocols: Networking aspects of the Internet, especially protocols and mechanisms related to routing, quality of service, and security. 2. Wireless Communications: System level view to signals and signal processing techniques in wireless transmission links: Digital transmission techniques, signal processing in receivers and transmitters. Wireless system level view: radio resource management, radio network planning. 3. RF Communication Circuits: Analog circuit design for wireless communications equipment; main emphasis on RF ASIC development.
