Section 1 40996 TTh 13:30 – 14:45 Engr 339 Organizational Notes1Electrical Engineering Department San Jose State University Spring 2007 EE 160 Digital Communications Prof. Jack Kurzweil Section 1 40996 TTh 13:30 – 14:45 Engr 339 Office: Engr 354 Phone 408-924-3913 email [email protected] Office Hours TTh 09:00 – 10:15 T 1500-1600 Prerequisites: EE 112, EE 102 (C or better in each) Course Website: http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/jkurzweil/ Homework assignments and solutions will be posted on the website. Exam solutions will also be posted on the website. That is, of course, if I can figure out how to post things onto the website. If I can’t, paper will just have to do. Text 1. Haykin, Simon; “Communication Systems, 4th Edition”, John Wiley and Sons; ISBN 0-471-17869-1 (Buy this Book on Amazon, it’s much less expensive that way) 2. Kurzweil, "An Introduction to Linear Systems and Signal Anaysis", available through Maple Press, San Carlos St. between 10th and 11th. If you have these notes from Fall 2006 semester, that will work. Course Description EE 160 gives an introduction to the principles, analysis and applications of communication systems, with focus on digital transmission techniques. The first part of the course is a review of Fourier analysis of signals and systems, including power and energy spectral densities, and bandpass signal analysis. Lowpass and bandpass sampling theorems are also covered. This is followed by a detailed treatment of digital data transmission techniques over channels subject to additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This includes baseband pulses for binary signaling, orthogonal signals and signal-space vector representation of signals, digital transmission over bandlimited AWGN channels (intersymbol interference, eye diagrams and raised-cosine spectrum) and performance analysis of digital communications systems. The basic tradeoffs between bandwidth, error performance and signal-to-noise ratio are discussed. The last part is an overview of modern techniques for wireless communication systems, including multicarrier (OFDM) and spread-spectrum modulation techniques. Exams Exam #1 Tuesday, March 6 Exam #2 Tuesday, April 24 Final Exam Tuesday, May 22, 0715 – 0930 Organizational Notes2 1. Exams will be closed book. Students will be given summary sheets for each of the exams. These will be the only notes allowed for the exams. Except under unusual circumstances, exams and solutions will be returned no later than one week from the day that the exam is given. Students who wish to appeal their grade on specific problems should resubmit their exam (within one week of the return of the exam) with an attached written statement indicating which problems should be reconsidered and on what basis. After that week has passed, the exam will no longer be reconsidered. 2. Students having disabilities that require special circumstances for taking exams are urged to consult the Disabled Students Office immediately and are required to inform the instructor of this in writing by Thursday, Feb 3. 3. Students are expected to arrive in class promptly; those who expect to arrive late regularly because of scheduling difficulties should discuss the matter with the instructor. In all circumstances, students who arrive late should cause minimum disturbance when they enter the room and should find a seat in the back of the room. The instructor considers habitual lateness without mitigating circumstances as a sign of disrespect. Homework The purpose of homework is to have students learn to use the theory presented in class to solve specific problems. This exercise helps to illuminate the theory and help crystallize it in the minds of students. Exam problems will generally be based on the homework. Working on the homework in groups is encouraged; copying the homework from a friend will bring short term benefits but, likely, long term disaster. The idea is to learn the material. Don't panic. You can do it. Homework will generally be assigned and collected on Tuesdays. Exceptions will be announced in class. Solutions will be provided. Late homework will therefore not be accepted under any circumstances. Homework sheets (81/2x11) must be stapled together and left unfolded (the funny thing of tearing the corners of the papers is not acceptable); homework papers must meet minimum standards of civilization (not to speak of professionalism) in order to be graded. As indicated below, homework will count for one full grade in the course. It is to your advantage to do the homework.
