Receivers, Antennas and Signals: Course Description

This OpenCourseWare from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discusses radio and optics signals found in radar systems, remote sensing technologies and other communications and astronomy equipment. You will learn how these radio and optic signals are detected and measured. Subjects covered include the statistical analysis of signal processing systems, including digital correlation systems, interferometers, spectrometers and radiometers, communications channel performance and aperture synthesis systems. Students will learn how these technologies are used to solve real-world problems in a variety of industries. MIT Professor Markus Zahn teaches 'Receivers, Antennas and Signals,' at the graduate level, and students are encouraged to have a background in advanced mathematics.

Materials for this course include a complete downloadable textbook, lecture notes and problem sets. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the antennas and optical signals course page.
