Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The students should be able to understand wave propagation models, the representation of signals in time and frequency, basics of antennas and mathematical methods related such as subspace and parametric methods.
They should by able to explain the benefits of array processing in signal processing and communications and understand practical applications in beamforming and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) communication systems.
