This course is part of our eLearning Archive, which includes older courses that may not be current or as user-friendly as courses designed more recently. This course reviews the topic of operational security-based radio frequency identification security with a focus on cryptography. It is divided into two main sections. In the first section, we focus on three main topics: OPSEC indicators and process; RFID attack examples; and RFID mapping to IPv6. Explanations and examples will be provided. In the second section, we discuss what we need to do in order to protect RFID from hackers with malicious intent if we encounter IPv6 vulnerabilities.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of digital modulation in which a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies. CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a form of multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. Multiplexing is sending multiple signals or streams of information on a carrier at the same time in the form of a single, complex signal and then recovering the separate signals at the receiving end. Multi-Carrier (MC) CDMA is a combined technique of Direct Sequence (DS) CDMA and OFDM techniques. It applies spreading sequences in the frequency domain. Wireless communications has witnessed a tremendous growth during the past decade and further spectacular enabling technology advances are expected in an effort to render ubiquitous wireless connectivity a reality. This series of courses will provide exposure to OFDM, MIMO-OFDM and MC-CDMA. Some working experience on signal processing, OFDM, CDMA, radio-frequency electronics, is assumed. In Part 5 of this series, we will consider different-complexity multi-user uplink OFDM systems and their MUDs. This part will be concluded by introducing decision-directed joint channel- and data estimation methods for multi-user OFDM, which are capable of approaching the perfect-channel-estimation based idealized system's performance.

As one of the few rising stars of the semiconductor industry, WLAN design is engaging more and more engineers and companies. Essential to the overall system design is the radio design. This course will introduce the various flavors of the 802.11 WLAN PHY standards (A/B/G) and describe their specifications and impact on the radio design. The possible choices for the radio architecture (direct-conversion, low-IF, super-heterodyne) are examined and their impact on the transistor-level design will be studied. The emphasis of this course is on practical aspects of design for wireless LAN radios.
China ratified its own mandatory Digital Terrestrial Television Broadcasting (DTTB) Standard with acronym of DTMB in August, 2006, adopting Time-domain synchronous-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (TDS-OFDM) as the baseline technology. DTMB is designed to cater to the largest DTV market in the world. The standard offers higher spectrum efficiency, better immunization to impulsive noises, and fast synchronization capability. It also supports mobile reception and is suitable for the multi-media services. The whole industry chain consists of many major players, both domestic and international, covering transmitter, demodulator, receiver, network equipment, and testing instruments has been well developed. This presentation will provide a brief review on the key technologies, measurement performance, implementation, intellectual properties and the typical as well as extended application of DTMB, with the focus on current status of deployment and the progress of the oversea promotion.
