We are aiming for an incremental return to campus in accordance with guidelines provided by NSW Health and the Australian Government. Until this time, learning activities and assessments will be planned and scheduled for online delivery where possible, and unit-specific details about face-to-face teaching will be provided on Canvas as the opportunities for face-to-face learning become clear.
Unit of study_
ELEC9515: Digital Communication Systems
The lecture starts with an overview of major components of a digital communication system and current technology. Then the following knowledge will be covered: efficient coding/representation of information source, channel coding of information to combat noise and interference, optimal received design, principles of incoherent systems, error probability calculations, solutions to problems caused by transmitting a signal through a bandlimited channel and caused by multipath, and spread spectrum systems. The lecture concludes with a discussion of future directions of digital communication systems.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. describe the concepts and techniques in the design of digital communications systems to the extent of the material presented in the course
- LO2. conduct lab experiments applying knowledge and principles and ensuring quality control in taking measurements to understand the influence of various factors on digital communications
- LO3. demonstrate an understanding of modern modulation and equalization techniques
- LO4. demonstrate an understanding of coding concepts, including both source and channel coding
- LO5. recognise the limits of existing information and undertake knowledge development by drawing upon a range of sources and media formats to synthesise the information most relevant
- LO6. demonstrate proficiency in scoring system design trade-off issues, by using the various principles, techniques and materials as the drivers for particular case assessment.
