Digital signal processing is an important aspect in the current era of communication engineering especially in wireless and mobile communication. Though deterministic signals are transmitted to communicate information in reality what we receive actually are corrupted signals that are random in nature. In this course therefore we cover random signal theories and its applications to communication engineering in order to understand the behavior of communication signals and improve the performance of communication systems by performing intelligent signal processing.

The topics covered in this course are;

- A quick recap of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), spectral analysis, filter design and windowing functions

- Fundamentals of random signal theory and analysis, and LTI system response to random signals

- Modelling communication signals as random processes

- Baseband signal processing, signal synthesis and filter design for communication

- Statistical signal processing in communication for signal detection and synchronization
