Course Overview:In this undergraduate/graduate course, we will discuss the wave physics of information transmission in diverse and complex environments. Students will learn physics-based modeling of the wireless system through electromagnetic theory, which, in turn, will appreciate the formulation and development of commensurate communication theory. 1. Introduction to Wireless Communication Channel (Weeks 1-2) • Concept of a Wireless Channel • Communication Performance Metrics • Cellular Systems and Networks • Multiple Access Schemes and Duplexing 2. Properties of Electromagnetic Waves (Weeks 3-4) • Maxwell’s Equations • Plane Wave Representation • Green’s Function Propagation Operator • Information Content of the Waveform • Reaction Theorem and Reciprocity Theorem 3. Radiation and Antenna Fundamentals (Weeks 5-7) • Radiation Principles • Basic Antenna Parameters and Elements • Friis’ Transmission Equation • Linear Array Antenna Theory • Analog and Digital Beamforming 4. Deterministic Representation of Wave Propagation (Weeks 8-9) • Propagation Model and Wireless Channel • Reflection, Refraction and Transmission • Geometrical Optics • Geometrical/Uniform theory of diffraction • Path-loss model and Shadowing 5. Stochastic Representation of Wave Propagation (Weeks 10-11) • Green’s Function for a Random Environment • Spatially Varying Green’s Function: Coherence Distance • Frequency-Varying Green’s Function: Coherence Bandwidth • Time-Varying Green’s Function: Coherence Time • Karhunen-Loeve Representation 6. Multiple Antenna Communication (Weeks 12-13) • Fading Channels and their Capacity Concepts • Beamforming Gain, Spatial Multiplexing and Spatial Diversity • Performance of point-to-point MIMO Channels • Introduction to multiuser MIMO • Massive MIMO and Holographic Surface 7. Time-Reversal Communication (Weeks 14-15) • Principles of Time Reversal and Effective Bandwidth • Signal Recording and Transmission • Spatial and Temporal Focusing • Time-Reversal Division Multiple Access • Wideband Waveforming Pre-requisite:ECE350, ECE 361, or consent of the instructor
