Teaching a new course in Spring 2025
ECE 398MA: Introduction to Modern Communication with Python and SDR
In this course, students will discover the foundational concepts behind modern wireless communication systems and get hands-on experience with cutting-edge software-defined radio (SDR) technology. Students learn how Python can be used to simulate and decode real-world communication protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and FM Radio. This course aims at junior ECE students who are interested in wireless technologies and curious about practical implementations of communication theory.
