UQAM is looking for a qualified person to teach the course MIC4220 – Digital Signal Processing in winter 2026. Applications must reach the program director as soon as possible.

This course is an introduction to the study of the main analog modulation techniques and some digital techniques used in communication systems. It introduces the analytical tools used to process random signals and noise. In addition to the theoretical study of basic principles, the course offers practical application through hands-on sessions.

A student who successfully completes the course should:
– to be able to evaluate the performance of the communication systems studied.
– be able to apply the tools of spectral analysis to the study of non-deterministic signals;
– be able to explain the operating principles of different analog and digital modulation and demodulation processes, and to assess their spectral requirements and error performance
– be familiar with the block diagram and overall characteristics of a transmission chain, and be able to identify the function and characteristics of each of the elements of the chain;
– to be able to choose a modulation method according to the physical constraints of a particular communication problem;
