Course Description
This course addresses the design of radio-frequency links in the component view to enable eventual full-duplex, multi-access wireless network. The analysis will reside mostly in the signal (SIMULINK) level instead of the circuit implementation, although the nonideal circuit characteristics will be reflected in the signal representation. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) standards will be introduced. Existing standard protocols will be selectively introduced including FM, TV broadcast, Bluetooth, Z-wave, Zigbee and Wi-fi.
