Brief Description: This course is an advance electrical engineering course intended for graduate students familiar with digital communications systems and fundamentals of wireless communication systems. The course provides students with an overview of spread-spectrum systems, including direct-sequence multiple-access and frequency-hopped systems. The current standards that deal with CDMA systems are discussed. ANSI-95 More advance concept are also covered.

Tentative Grading Policy:
The performance of students in this course will be assessed based on a final report due on the last day of classes. A 30-minute oral presentation must accompany each project (to be scheduled in the last week of classes). Students are required to choose an advanced topic in the area of CDMA, perform a literature survey (help is available through Marjorie Henderson, the engineering librarian), and identify 3-5 key articles in the literature that deal with the subject of interest. The final report must outline the findings of the selected papers. The oral presentation must be treated as an oral examination. However, the scope of the questions in the oral examination will be limited to the material covered by the oral presentation.
