EQ2830 Detection and Modulation Theory, Accelerated Program 7.5 credits

A brief outline is as follows:

• Classical estimation and detection theory, discrete-time/vector models
• Representation of continuous-time stochastic processes
• Detection of signals, continuous-time waveforms
• Estimation of signal parameters
• Gaussian signals in AWGN
• Detection of random processes in noise
• Estimating the parameters of a random process

Two versions: The course is eligible for undergraduate, master and doctoral students. There will be two versions:

• 2E1434: An accelerated program (forskarförberedande) version, 5 cu's
• F2E5634: A Ph.D. student version, 8 cu's

This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of detection theory with applications to digital communications. The course also covers the basics of estimation theory and the design of modulation signal waveforms.

General admission requirements

EQ2310 Digital Communications.

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.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• 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.

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.

• 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.
