ECE5630 Communications Systems II

News for
12-06-2021

Lecture video 15 is posted.

I have re-posted the final project/exam and the corresponding Jupyter notebook. In this notebook I have also turned on/enabled logging, as this is part of the functionality of many functions and classes in scikit-dsp-comm.

The advanced digital comm Jupyter notebook is updated. The final exam/project doc and zip packages are posted. The exam doc still needs some screenshot fixes due to syntax changes in scikit-dsp-comm. I will hope repost tonight.

I have added a link to MATLAB/Python/Julia cheatsheet in the right column (I also fixed the broken link from earlier today).

I will be adding names to my Slack workspace soon and you will then get an Email invitation to join.

Recursive sample statistics from ECE 5615.

A course of related interest Spring 2022 is Real-Time DSP, ECE 5655/4655-3, a three credit course on programming the ARM Cortex M4 using the Keil IDE. Continued at bottom of center column.

Learning Python

Python Basics a tutorial written in Jupyter Notebook. ZIP.

Link to Anaconda. This is the scientific Python I recommend.

Two IDE's I recommend are (1) VS Code with the Python extension and (2) Pycharm Community Edition.

Obtaining Mathematica

Mathematica is available across the campus due to the CU system wide site license. This system-site license also means that students may install their own copy on home computers as well. Some links of interest regarding the CU site license for Mathematica are: download and installation and support information.

Spring Related 2021 (cont.)

ECE 5615, Statistical Signal Processing, will be taught Spring 2019. Other courses can be made available 'on-demand'. In fact 5615 can be a self-study course/independent study type course using the available lecture videos and course notes. Ask me for info.

The phase-locked loops course, ECE 5675 can also be a self-study course/independent study type course, using the available lecture videos and course notes. Ask me for info.
