technologies). The main contents covered by this module are:
Radio Channel Modelling
1. Basis of Antenna theory, design & radio propagation.
2. Large-scale path loss.
3. Small-scale fading/multipath effects (Outdoor & Indoor)
e.g. Doppler effects/shift.
4. Introduction to Rayleigh-Rician-Nakagami models.
Digital
Communications Techniques through Wireless Channels:
1. M-ary ASK, M-ary PSK, M-ary QAM, M-ary FSK Continuous Phase Carrier Modulation.
Probability of error performance and bandwidth efficiency.
2.
