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))

4. Student teams design and analyze a new spread-spectrum communications receiver for a realistic channel environment;

the project results are disseminated through project proposals, presentations and a final report. (Criteria
