Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier communications technique that is used in numerous modern radio systems and standards (e.g. WiFi, WiMAX, LTE, DVB, DAB, DRM). In this course, students will obtain

* mastery of fundamental aspects of multicarrier (OFDM) systems

* knowledge of state of the art methods in wireless communications

* overview of current radio communication standards

* capability of extracting and presenting information from scientific publications

- Transceivers for OFDM

- Channel Estimation Techniques

- Synchronization Techniques

- Peak-to-Average-Power-Ratio (PAPR) Reduction Techniques

- MIMO-OFDM

- Applications and Standards
