| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. Students learn the basics of multi-user detection theory. (Criterion 3(a)) |
| | 2. Students learn and apply optimization techniques to wireless communications problems. (Criteria 3(a),(e)) |
| | 3. Students learn the history of spread-spectrum communications and about current standards. (Criteria 3(j),(h)) |
