ECE536A - Free-Space Optical Communications Systems
Course ID
040014
Course Description
The purpose of the course is to give students a comprehensive introduction to free-space optical communication principles. This course offers in-depth exposition on: (1) propagation effects in free-space, both outdoor and indoor as well as deep-space; (2) channel impairments in these media including atmospheric turbulence effects and scattering effects; (3) noise sources, (4) channel capacity studies, (5) advanced modulation and multiplexing techniques for free-space applications, (6) advanced detection and channel compensation techniques; (7) diversity techniques, (8) MIMO techniques, (9) adaptive optics techniques to deal with atmospheric turbulence effects; (10) advanced coding and coded modulation techniques; and (11) software defined free-space optical communications.
