Catalog Listing: EECS 622 (3) Introduction to radio transmission
systems. Topics include radio
transmitter and receiver design, radiowave propagation phenomenology, antenna
performance and basic design, and signal detection in the presence of noise. Students will design radio systems to meet
specified performance measure.
Prerequisite: EECS
420
Course Objective: To introduce the fundamentals of radio
transmission systems, including wireless communication devices and radar. Topics include transmitter and receiver
system analysis and design, antenna performance and specification, fundamentals
of propagation and scattering, and detection in the presence of noise. Upon completion of this course, students
should be capable of designing, at a systems level, a radio transmission system
that will meet a given detection specification.

Grading: The following factors
will be used to arrive at the final course grade.
Homework 10 %
Project
20 %
Exam I 20 %
Exam II 20 %
Attendance

Final
Exam 25 %
Grading Scale: Grades will be
assigned to the following scale:
A 90 - 100 %
B 80 - 89 %
C 70 - 79 %
D 60 - 69 %
F < 60 %
These
are guaranteed maximum scales and
may be revised downward at the
instructor's discretion.
Homework: Homework will be
collected at the beginning of class on
a roughly weekly basis. Collaboration
with classmates is permitted. Copying is not permitted.
Exams: No make-ups
for missed exams will be given. If
you have attended 75% of the lectures and have 75% on the homework, and
you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam (e.g., significant illness
family emergency), the first missed exam will be scored by taking 90% of the
average of the other exams. Subsequent
missed exams will be scored as zero.
Note this policy does not mean that you can drop one exam!
Ethics Policy: Academic misconduct
will not be tolerated. It will result in a failing grade and may result in further disciplinary action by the
University. For details see the Academic
Misconduct section of the Timetable.
