EE 279 – Introduction to Digital CommunicationProfessor Ayfer Özgür Aydin, Stanford University, Winter Quarter 2012-13
Course InformationLecturesLectures are on Mondays and Wednesdays 12:50–2:05 pm in Gates-B1, problem sessions on Fridays 4:15–5:05 pm in Huang 018. AbstractDigital communication is a rather unique field in engineering in which theoretical ideas have had an extraordinary impact on the design of actual systems. The course provides a basic understanding of the analysis and design of digital communication systems, building on various ideas from probability theory, stochastic processes, linear algebra and Fourier analysis. Topics include:
ReadingThe main text is ‘‘Principles Of Digital Communications: A Top-Down Approach’’ by Bixio Rimoldi. This is a textbook in preparation and will be available electronically to registered students. The following books have been reserved in the Engineering Library for supplemental reading.
PrerequisitesBasic Probability and Stochastic Processes (EE178, EE179, EE278B or equivalent), Linear Systems and Fourier transform (EE102A or EE261) and Linear Algebra (EE263 or equivalent). Course requirements
