This is a core course for students who would like to understand or enter the field of
communication engineering. As Analog Communication has been covered in the course
"Communication System I", "Communication System II" introduces Digital Communication. This
course covers Digital Transmissions, Spread-Spectrum Modulation, Multiuser Communications.
This course is designed in parallel with "Communication System I". For students taking this
course, the background of "Communication System I" is preferred, but not a must.
For the practicing engineer in the communications industry and those who (such as seniors and
beginning graduate students) plan to have communications as major area, this course is
necessary to build essential background on digital communications. For those who are to engage
in signal processing and IC design for communications, this is also a course worth taking.
Background: Probability Theory, Signals and Systems
Course Outline:
1. Introduction to Random Processes (Review) (Chapter 1)
2. Signal-Space Analysis (Chapter 5)
3. Passband Digital Transmission (Chapter 6)
4. Spread-Spectrum Modulation (Chapter 7)
5. Multiuser Radio Communications (Chapter 8)

Remarks:
1. Late homework: X(n)=X(0)×(0.7)n where X(0) is the grade if the homework is handed in on
time and n is the number of days passing the due day. You must hand in your homework
yourself.
2. Cheating (such as copying others’ homework): All the involved students get 0 for the
homework. The total homework grade will be multiplied by 70% for each cheating.
