1. Introduction to EE 643
Overview of EE 643 (Communication System Performance), and some simple initial tasks to get oriented and ready for the course.
2. Overview - Wireless vs Wired Communications
Overview of the key differences between wireless and wired communication systems
3. Physical Models of Wireless Channels
Discussion of physical models of wireless channels through some simplified examples, which reveal some key features of wireless channels.
4. Input/Output Models of Wireless Channels
The input/output model of wireless channels allows us to write the received signal (i.e., output) in terms of the transmitted signal (i.e., input) and the channel.
5. Detection in a Fading Channel
We analyze the performance degradation under a wireless fading channel.
6. Time Diversity
We study how to utilize time diversity to combat fading in wireless channels.
7. Antenna Diversity
We study how to achieve antenna diversity with multiple antennas.
8. Frequency Diversity
We study three common schemes to achieve frequency diversity.
