Reading List: The course textbook is "Digital Communications" by I A Glover and P M Grant, 3rd edition,
published by Pearson Education, ISBN 978-0-273-71830-7. Other Textbooks recommended are
“Communication Systems” by Simon Haykin (4th Edition) and “Digital Communications” by John G, Proakis
and Masoud Salehi (5th Edition).
Demonstrators: We have feedback tutorial support from Iman Tavakkolnia (Email: [email protected] )
and Shenjie Huang (Email: [email protected] ).
Assessment and Feedback:
• There will be short quizzes at the start of each tutorial session as formative feedback. Be punctual!
You will mark your own quizzes and the results have no effect on the final course assessment but
give you a good feedback on how you are progressing!
• The result of the final exam in December will make up 100% of the mark for this course. It will
include a compulsory question (section A) plus three optional questions (section B) out of which 2
questions must be answered.
