Course status


Old degree structure:

            This course did not exist in the old degree structure. Corresponding material was included in S-72.232 Radio Communication Systems and S-72.630 Capacity Enhancement Methods for Radio Interface

New degree structure:
Optional course in the Master’s degree program major subject in the option Radio Communication Systems of the major subject Radio Communications

Post-graduate compatible course


Course targets

The course gives

  • basic knowledge about principles and performance of the MLSE receiver and  its implementation with the Viterbi algorith
  • knowledge about the application and performance of the Vierbi algorithm as a probabilistic channel equalizer in the delay-dispersive radio channel
  • basic knowledge about sub-optimum channel equalizers and their performance in the delay-dispersive radio channel.
  • Iterative receiver algorithms for channel decoding and equalization. Turbo processing principles.
  • Multiple input multiple output antenna systems. Channel coding and decoding in MIMO systems.                                  

Prerequisites

The course S-72.3230 Radio Transmission and Network Access or corresponding is assumed.

Teachers

  • Professor Sven-Gustav Hägg­man and Teaching ResearcherKalle Ruttik are the responsible teachers and lecturers of this course.
  • Mika Nupponen is the web-master

Lectures and exercises

Lectured every academic year in Period IV.

  • Lectures (starting on March 15) are held on Wednesdays 10 – 12 in Room H3021 and Thursdays 10 – 12 in Room H3021
  • Exercises (starting on March 21) are held on Tuesdays 10 – 12 in Room H3021

There are 6 home-works, which will be checked and graded and they will give bonus to the final course grade.

Return box is on the corridor on the 2nd floor near the E-wing below the course´s notice board.

Requirements

  • The exam requirements consist of the material distributed to the students.
  • The exam is an open-book exam with six tasks of which the five best answers are considered for the exam grade.
  • The tasks will be available in English and Finnish
  • The first exam is on May 18, 2006.
  • Information about the following exams will be shown on the Departments web-page. 
  • Calculators are allowed and their use is highly recommendable. Otherwise the general exam rules in HUT are followed.

Final grade

The final course grade is the nearest integer to the exam grade + 0.2´assignment grade
