This multidisciplinary program prepares professionals for the exciting and rapidly expanding industry of wireless communications. The world is increasingly abandoning the wire, so future careers in communication will invariably depend on professionals who fully understand wireless protocols and devices at multiple scales.
This program focuses on contemporary and novel topics in wireless communications, including network layering, digital communication, wireless protocols (from 2G to 5G, leading to 6G), spectrum regulation, management, and security. Topics include space representation of signals, detection of signals in noise, band-pass modulation techniques, cellular systems, propagation modeling, digital transmission techniques, diversity, and multiple access techniques. Other topics include optical fibers, waveguides, light sources, IoT principles and application requirements, network management standards, models, and protocols, frequency planning, spectrum management authorities, global interoperability, standardization bodies, testing and certifications, and wireless communications development.
