S-72.333 
Postgraduate Course in Radio Communications 
5-8 credits

Autumn 2004 - Spring 2005

Course is based on the following material

Course book:
  • Simon Haykin, Michael Moher:
    Modern Wireless Communications
    ISBN 0-13-124697-6, Prentice Hall 2005

Other suggested reading:
  • John G. Proakis: Digital Communications, 4/ed, McGraw-Hill, 2000
  • A. Paulraj, R. Nabar, D. Gore: Introduction to Space-Time Wireless Communications, Published May 2003, ISBN: 0521826152
  • R. van Nee: OFDM wireless multimedia communications, Artech House, cop. 2000
  • G.L. Stüber: Principles of mobile communication. 2nd ed., Kluwer 2001, ISBN 0-7923-7998-5
  • R. Vaughan, J. Bach Andersen, Channels, Propagation and Antennas for Mobile Communicationsm IEE, 2003
  • H. Bertoni, Radio Propagation for Modern Wireless Systems, Prentice Hall, 2000
You can ask the course book for a short loan
(one-two days) from Communications Laboratory's secretary Sari Kiveliö, room E218

and

  • Various articles in journals and conferences.
Articles can be found on web http://ieeexplore.ieee.org
You can have access to those articles from HUT work stations.

Here are some proposed publications for some topics, and other publications or web references are also needed.
