Teaching

Digital Systems Design (BUPT joint programme)

The course aims to give participants a basic understanding of the design principles for large digital systems incorporating logic modules, arithmetic units, registers, memories etc. The course also uses VHDL to program Xilinx Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs) with associated design tools in the laboratory work.

Wireless Networks (BUPT joint programme)

This module provides broad knowledge of wireless communications and wireless networks, including fundamental concepts and theory. It aims to equip the participants with general knowledge of wireless communications and wireless networks, including modulations, channel coding, spread spectrum communication, cellular phone systems, satellite communications, WLAN and etc.
