Information Theory (TE 361) - Telecommunications Engineering
Academic telecommunications engineering course: Information Theory with lessons, labs, quizzes and practice tests.
Independent university-level study of Information Theory (TE 361), part of the Erudex Telecommunications Engineering programme. Project: Compare compression and error-control schemes for a specified channel using entropy, rate, decoding error and reproducible performance experiments. This original curriculum is not an official KNUST syllabus, university credit or accreditation.
Curriculum
One complete track with its own final exam and certificate.
Suggested 120-minute final. Test foundational concepts through information measures and source coding; analytical application through joint information and discrete channels; design/case reasoning through continuous channels and error control foundations; and integrative judgment through advanced coding concepts and information theoretic design. Use the course-type exam weighting in the program guidance.
Information measures. Applied task: Calculate and interpret entropy for a finite source.
