Students will gain advanced knowledge and simulation skills in key technological elements such as source coding, error control,
modulation and demodulation, access technologies, radio wave propagation, antenna technologies, fading resilience, and OFDM
techniques. Students are required to watch and comprehend approximately 100 minutes of pre-recorded lectures before each class
session and actively participate in the exercises. Additionally, supplementary assignments will be provided after each exercise
to reinforce understanding. In the latter half of the course, students will investigate and present research findings from
internationally renowned academic journals (each student will give approximately two presentations), aiming to understand
the latest technological trends in advanced wireless communication systems.
The primary objective of this course is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the key technological components of wireless communication systems and to acquire knowledge about cutting-edge wireless communication systems and services. Additionally, through simulation exercises using MATLAB, students will aim to enhance their understanding of wireless communication technologies and learn analytical methods.
- Understand and utilize specialized elemental technologies such as coding, decoding, modulation and demodulation in wireless communications.
- Understand and explain the practical details of applied technologies in wireless communications, such as multiple connections, antenna signal processing, and anti-fading technologies.
- Understand and explain the overview and characteristics of wireless communication systems and issues of system technology from a professional perspective.
