CME362 Networks II
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: CME361
This course is focusing on the relevant and state-of-the-art networking protocols and
architectures. The focus is on the protocols used in the modern networked systems including
wireless and mobile networks. The goals of the course are to build on basic networking course
material in providing a deep understanding of existing technology with concrete experience of the
challenges through a series of exercises. The course is divided into four parts where the first two
parts aim to provide deep understanding of protocols, architectures and segment structures at
different layers of the protocol stack specifically transport and network and link layers. The third
part will focus on the application layer and services/applications. The final part is designed to
provide a comprehensive understanding and evolution of the wireless networks.

CME433 Digital Signal Processing
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Senior Level Standing
This course provides an in-depth understanding of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), focusing on the
analysis, manipulation, and implementation of digital signals in various engineering applications.
Students will explore discrete-time signals and systems, sampling theory, discrete Fourier
transform (DFT), fast Fourier transform (FFT), digital filter design, and real-time signal processing
techniques. The course emphasizes both theoretical concepts and practical implementation,
preparing students for advanced topics in signal processing.

CME443 Antenna and wave propagation
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Senior level Standing
This course provides the students with an understanding of the basic principles of Antenna
Analysis and Design, an overview of the fundamental characteristics and parameters of antennas,
an overview of analytical and numerical methods used to analyze and design antennas with
application to some basic antenna structures such as linear antennas, loop antennas, and
antenna arrays.

CME444 Microwave Engineering
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Senior level Standing
The course focuses on the analysis and design of high frequency electronic circuits, with emphasis
on RF and microwave circuits and components for communication systems. Waveguides, planar
transmission lines and cavity resonators are presented with relevant design techniques, and with
different modes. The basic principles of radio frequency and microwave circuits design as applied
to the design of directional couplers, and power dividers are covered. The course provides also a
description of microwave networks using different methods such as S-matrix, Y and Z matrices
and ABCD matrix.

CME453 Wireless Communications Systems
Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: CME304
This course provides an introduction to power systems used in electrical engineering. Examples
include different types of generation systems, load flow studies and infinite bus systems with
exploring their applications in substations and power plants.

CME454 Satellite Communications
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Senior Level Standing
This course is designed to provide students with global view of satellite systems, its missions,
launch systems, frequency allocation and orbits specification, the link budget calculation for both
the uplink, and the downlink, the communication system of the satellite and earth stations,
satellite access, and satellite services. Satellite cross links, VSAT and mobile satellite systems
