Abstract
The course gives an introduction to the most important aspects of modern wireless communication systems. The course covers basic wireless communications processes like signal transmission, propagation, detection, and demodulation. Students will get familiar with some information-theoretic concepts like channel capacity and error-correcting codes. This introduction also highlights multiple antenna techniques and modern cellular system architectures, including the Internet-of-Things concepts. The practical part of the course includes a series of labs (MATLAB) that allow discovering basic principles as well as advanced methods for wireless communication systems analysis.
