About the Course
Overview
Digital communications is a key technology in our daily life and in the high-tech industry. This course presents the basic concepts and the updated innovations of digital transmission in a clear yet comprehensive way. The course is intended for electrical engineers, system engineers and project managers with professional background in electromagnetic waves and signal processing but not specifically with communication theory.
