Digital Communications (EE 381K-2) and its prereqs, especially EE381J or an advanced probability course.
This is a strongly recommended prerequisite, since I also instruct that course and would like to avoid
reviewing communication fundamentals. It will be assumed that the student is comfortable with basic
modulation principles, inter-symbol interference and its suppression (equalization and OFDM, especially),
and the computation of performance measures like probability of error. A grasp of basic information theory
(i.e. Shannon's formula and its meaning) and digital signal processing will also prove useful.
