Signal Processing for mm Wave communication for 5G and beyond

By Prof. Amit Kumar Dutta | IIT Kharagpur

Learners enrolled: 1421

Due to significant tele-traffic growth in forthcoming 5G technology, it is essential to increase the service bandwidth and transmission radio frequency to millimeter wave. This comes with its own set problems due to higher path loss and other issues. This course encompasses the complete mmWave communication from the signal processing point of view. In this course, we will cover mmWave channel models, MIMO-OFDM in mmWave and Beamforming technology. We will also cover a rigorous MATLAB simulation to understand mmWave beamforming with MIMO-OFDM.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : BTech final year, M.Tech students (enrolled or passed out), any employee of an organization which is involved in Physical layer (4G/5G) algorithms development

PRE REQUISITE :Minimum: BE (ECE)

SUPPORTED INDUSTRIES : Qualcomm Ltd., Mediatech Communication Private Ltd.

IIT Kharagpur

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the GS Sanyal School of Telecommunication of IIT Kharagpur. Before this academic position, I worked in various corporate like Texas Instrument, Broadcom Ltd, Cypress Semiconductor, NxP Ltd for almost 14 years in the field of signal processing and communication. I come with a vast knowledge of practical implementation of DSP/Modem system. My current research interest includes mmWave/THz signal processing and communication, Quantum signal processing, VLSI for communication.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 24 October 2021 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
