Learning outcomes
Special course on multicarrier techniques (OFDM, DMT) and their applications to terrestrial radio and TV transmission, mobile communication systems, and digital subscriber line modems. After completing the course, a student has in-depth knowledge about OFDM techniques and their applications in current and emerging broadband communication systems.
