Performance Analysis of Communication Systems

CSE-842
Graduate Course Offered at H-12 Campus

Introduction
Our motivation for this course emanates from the
fact that today, digital communication systems are
in common use and generally carry the bulk of our
daily information transmission through a variety of
communication media, such as wireline telephone
channels, microwave radio, fiber optics channels,
satellite channels, and the personal
communication system networks. It has,
therefore, become increasingly important to
evaluate the performance and dependability of
such systems.
This course will introduce the use of different
analysis techniques and algorithms used in
performance evaluation of communication
systems engineering. Various important
communication system parameters in the
presence of noise are also analyzed using
Stochastic Models.

Engineer Sikander Hayat Mirza has done his bachelors in Avionics Engineering in 1982 from Pakistan Air force (PAF) College of
Aeronautical Engineering (CAE). He has a long experience of teaching, maintenance of Electronic equipment and R&D. He did his
masters from Iowa State University in Communication and Signal Processing in 1999. After his masters he was posted to CAE as
Associate Professor. He has commanded two prestigious research units of PAF i.e. No 606 R&D wing and No 118 Software
Engineering depot. He has also served as Director of Air Defence Automation and simulators at Air Headquarters Islamabad. After
joining NUST in 2007, he remained Project Director Research Institute of Micrometer and Millimeter Wave Studies (RIMMS) till 2008.
Subsequently from 2008 till Oct 2012 served as a Principal RCMS . As an additional assignment of Project Director Super Computing
Research and Education, he contrived, procured, optimized, tested and made Pakistans first supercomputer operational by Dec, 2011.
