 Introduction to Wireless Communication Systems

(chapter 1 & 2)
 Review of Signals and Systems,
 Basics of Communication.
 Mobile Radio Propagation: Large-Scale Path Loss
(chapter 4)
 Mobile Radio Propagation: Small-Scale Fading and
Multipath (chapter 5)
 Fundamentals of Modulations, Equalization and
Diversity (chapter 6 & 7)
 Multipath Access Methods (chapter 9)

 Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM)

 After successfully completing this course, the students

will be able to:
1. Describe the cellular radio concepts such as frequency
reuse, handoff, capacity, cell size and the interference
effects. (C2-PLO1)
2. Explain propagation effects such as fading, time delay
spread, and Doppler spread. (C2-PLO1)
3. Evaluate receive and transmit diversity techniques,
basic equalization and multiple access techniques.
(C3-PLO2)
4. Express multi carrier modulation such as orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing modulation
techniques and analyse multiple-antenna systems
and techniques. (C3-PLO2)

 Transmitting voice, video and data using

electromagnetic waves in open space
 Electromagnetic waves
 Travel at speed of light (𝑐 = 3 × 10 m/s)
 Has a frequency (f) and wavelength (λ)
 𝑐 = 𝑓 × 𝜆
 Higher frequency means
 Smaller wavelength
 Smaller antenna size
 Lower range
 Large bandwidth

 Freedom from wires

 No cost of installing the wires, No bunches of wires running
around e.g. Bluetooth , Wi-Fi
 Global coverage
 where wired communication is not feasible or costly e.g.
rural areas, battle field and outer space.
 Stay Connected
 Anywhere anytime
 Flexibility
 Connect to multiple devices simultaneously
 Higher datarates

 Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph in

1896
 Communication by encoding alphanumeric characters in
analog signal
 Sent telegraphic signals across the Atlantic Ocean
 Communications satellites launched in 1960s
 Advances in wireless technology
 Radio, television, mobile telephone, communication
satellites
 More recently
 Satellite communications, wireless networking, cellular
technology
