Requirements
The course includes a number of partly elective small projects or laboratory exercises. For each of the chosen exercises, the required exercise work and reporting must be completed in an acceptable way.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning
One main idea of the course is to develop problem-based teaching/learning methods for this topic area.
Learning Outcomes
After successfully completing the course, a student will be able to understand the basic behavior of the lower-layer functional blocks of communication systems, implement and test the needed algorithms/subsystems using common simulation tools, and implement them in digital hardware or using programmable processors. He will also be able to evaluate and compare the performance of different algorithms/subsystems in terms of communication theoretic performance, implementation complexity and energy consumption.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | The course contains several partly elective modules, each focusing on a specific topic. Each module may contain introductory lectures, small literature study projects, design and simulation exercises, and laboratory measurement tasks. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
Quality of the exercise solutions / simulation studies / laboratory exercise work and quality of the reporting of the exercises.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
Partial passing:
Additional information about prerequisites
Good skills in performing electronic measurements is a mandatory background for taking the course.
The required theoretical background knowledge depends on the chosen exercises, and typically includes most of the mandatory courses in the Digital Communication Circuits and Systems (Tietoliikenteen digitaalitekniikat) Major. The course is targeted to the students of this specific major, but it is open to all students with sufficient background knowledge in this multidisciplinary field.

| The idea of these projects is to introduce the USRP-LabVIEW environment to the students. Under this page you can find information about the USRP projects for following courses: - ELT-43006 Digital Transmission: Small USRP project can be taken as the mandatory project work (alternative to the traditional Matlab project). - ELT-44506 Project Seminar on Digital Communication Circuits and Systems: The course can be completed as a Big USRP project. - ELT-49206 Doctoral Assignment in Wireless Communications: The course can be completed as a Big USRP project, which is combined with a literature study on a research-oriented topic (e.g., implementing and testing selected algorithms found in the literature study in real time with actual signals). Both types of projects start with - Lecture 1 about the LabVIEW system design environment on Friday 14.3.2014 at 8:15-10 - Lecture 2 about USRP development environment on Thursday 20.3. at 16:00-18 - 2-3 USRP hands-on training sessions: Basic exercises, FM radio receiver exercise, Packet radio transmission exercise. This should be done in groups of 2 students. There will be 3 alternative weekly times (Tue 16-18, Thu 9-11, Thu 16-18; Tue morning sessions cancelled due to low interest) for these exercises. Signing-up to the exercises is done through the POP system (open now), separately for each session. Lectures and exercises take place in the PC classroom SM201. STARTING FROM THU 24.4., ALL EXERCISES ARE MOVED TO TC419. Deadline for submission of exercise, homework and the documentation package along with working Vi's is 5.05.2014. |
