EQ2310 Digital Communications.
Equipment
Literature
The course is based on the two classic volumes
- H. L. Van Trees, "Detection, Estimation and Modulation Theory," Part I (Wiley: paperback ISBN 0-471-095176)
- H. L. Van Trees, "Detection, Estimation and Modulation Theory," Part III: Radar-Sonar Signal Processing and Gaussian Signals in Noise (Wiley: paperback ISBN 0-471-10793-x)
The accelerated program version of the course uses only Part I while the Ph.D. student version uses both parts.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- TEN1 - Examination, 7.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
The main focus is on extensive homework problems that must be handed in according to a schedule.
The accelerated program version will in addition include an exam.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
