Unit-I
Introduction
Applications and requirements of wireless services: history, types of services,
requirements for the services, economic and social aspects.
Technical challenges in wireless communications: multipath propagation, spectrum
limitations, limited energy, user mobility, noise and interference-limited systems.
Propagation mechanism:free space loss, reflection and transmission, diffraction, scattering
by rough surfaces, wave guiding.
Unit-II

small-scale fading with and without a dominant component, Doppler spectra, temporal
dependence of fading, large scale fading.
Wideband and directional channel characteristics: causes of delay dispersion, system
theoretic description of wireless channels, WSSUS model, condensed parameters, ultra
wideband channels, directional description.
Unit-III
Channel models:Narrowband, wideband and directional models, deterministic channel-
modeling methods.
Channel sounding: Introduction, time domain measurements, frequency domain analysis,
modified measurement methods, directionally resolved measurements.
Antennas: Introduction, antennas for mobile stations, antennas for base stations.
Unit-IV
Transceivers and signal processing: Structure of a wireless communication link: transceiver
block structure, simplified models. Modulation formats, demodulator structure, error
probability in AWGN channels, error probability in flat-fading channels, error probability in
delay and frequency-dispersive fading channels.
Unit V
