The course teaches the fundamentals of digital communication systems. The main topics are analog and digital modulation, signals and linear time-invariant systems, baseband and passband representations, continuous-time and discrete-time channels, noise, inter-symbol interference, detection theory, as well as the basics of forward error correction and information theory.

The course is about some fundamental topics of digital signal processing with a bias towards applications in communications: discrete-time linear filters, inverse filters and equalization, DFT, discrete-time stochastic processes, elements of detection theory and estimation theory, LMMSE estimation and LMMSE filtering, LMS algorithm, Viterbi algorithm.

Sinusoidal signals and systems in the time and frequency domain, principle of operation and design of basic analog and digital circuits as well as analog-digital conversion.

The course teaches the fundamentals of wireless communication as well as state-of-the-art technologies used in modern wireless systems. The main topics are wireless channels, data detection, multi-antenna and multi-user communication, information theory of wireless systems, and emerging technologies. The exercises cover theoretical aspects as well as modeling of wireless systems using MATLAB.

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

The course has the following main goals: (a) to give a comprehensive overview of challenges on communication equipment imposed by space flight missions, (b) to present the theoretical fundamentals and existing practical solutions of communication technology for space missions, and (c) to review existing and future communication technologies for inter-satellite links, inter-spacecraft links, as wel

This third course in our VLSI series is concerned with full-custom digital integrated circuits. The goals include learning the design of digital circuits on the schematic, layout, gate, and register-transfer levels. The use of state-of-the-art CAD software (Cadence Virtuoso) in order to simulate, optimize, and characterize digital circuits is another important topic of this course.

This fifth course in our VLSI lecture series consolidates the theoretical and practical knowledge from the courses VLSI 1, VLSI 2, and VLSI 3, offering hands-on experience in designing and characterizing a standard-cell library for integration into a standard digital integrated circuit design flow.
