  • Intriguing despite the fact that I beforehand had the knowledge of around 25% of the material from utilizing a PC for a long time. There are around an hour of superb video addresses every week, trailed by a test and programming activities. The programming activities are in MATLAB through a web interface, for the most part adding some missing usefulness to a program. Secondary school maths is sufficient to finish this part of the course and I think you could do this part of the course without first finishing parts 1 and 2.

Course programme

Have you ever wondered how information is transmitted using your mobile phone or a WiFi hotspot? Gain an understanding of the basic engineering tools used and tradeoffs encountered in the design of these communication systems. This course is divided into three parts. In Part 1, we examine the point-to-point link, which communicates information from a single transmitter to a single receiver. Part 2 examines how multiple transmitters can share the same physical channel. Part 3 discusses how information can be transmitted reliably from one station to another over a network that connects multiple stations. Online interactive exercises are included to help build your intuition. This course was inspired by and built upon the course 6.02 Digital Communication Systems developed at MIT, which Prof Bertram Shi worked on during his sabbatical in 2009.

Additional information

Bertram Shi Bertram E. Shi received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1987 and 1988. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California in 1994. He then joined HKUST, where he is currently a Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering and the Division of Biomedical Engineering. His research interests are in bio-inspired signal processing and robotics, neuromorphic engineering, computational neuroscience, machine vision, image processing, and machine learning. Prof. Shi is an IEEE Fellow and has twice served as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems and Frontiers in Neuromorphic Engineering.
