The communications industry and its information and market structures evolve every day as a result of rapid changes in cost and technical efficiency. Popular practices of five years ago are now obsolete. This course prepares you for the way wireless communications technologies work in modern markets using case studies to discover how wireless communications are integrated into businesses of varying fields. This course covers essential topics such as: communications satellites, noise performance, satellite relay-cost optimization, modulation performance, and calculating links in dB terms. Updates on recent advances give insight into possibilities for new ventures in developed and emerging markets around the world today. Individual project studies in this course allow students to focus on an application of direct interest to them, and allow them to tailor participation to their own interests and to expand the essentials taught in class.
