Ph.d.-kursus – Digitale modtagere for optisk kommunikation

• Analyze and implement algorithms for digital demodulation
• Analyze and implement algorithms for clock recovery
• Analyze and implement algorithms for synchronization
• Analyze and implement algorithms for phase and frequency estimation
• Analyze and implement algorithms for channel equalization
• Understand the relation between the algorithms and the physical realization of the optical links
• Knowledge of efficient implementations to be used in actual systems
• Apply digital signal algorithms specifically related to the participant’s ph.d. project

The main topics are:
– Digital demodulation
– Clock recovery
– Phase recovery
– Frequency estimation
– Synchronization algorithms
– Channel estimation and equalization

The course is conducted as a reading and discussion meeting with the teachers. Assignments will be handed out to each student and discussed every course meeting. The assignments will be based on the book: Digital Communication Receivers: Synchronization, Channel Estimation, and Signal Processing by H. Meyr et al. The assignments will be chosen according to the students’ needs and interests.
