Curriculum

One complete track with its own final exam and certificate.

Suggested 120-minute final. Test foundational concepts through digital communication models and source representation and coding; analytical application through pulse transmission and digital modulation; design/case reasoning through detection and synchronization and channel impairments and equalization; and integrative judgment through coding and multicarrier systems and end-to-end communication design. Use the course-type exam weighting in the program guidance.
