The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3 - 6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6 - 9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
Construct an extension to an existing wireless communication system and quantify its capabilities.
Integrate a range of signal processing features for wireless communication systems to appraise performance using a software-defined radio hardware platform.
Evaluate the distinct capacity advantages and the channel limitations of multi-antenna systems.
Construct theoretical models of wireless channels to predict the error performance of communication systems using typical distortions such as noise, fading and interference.
Describe the capacity of wireless communication systems with reference to real world data using spatial and temporal diversity techniques.
