Past exam questions
The lecture foils are available here as a 1-up PDF.
Alongside the questions in the lecture foils (at the end of each topic), I recommend
Stephen Kells excellent DigComm1 Supervision Exercises here. A set of supervisor's notes
complimenting these exercises are also available (send an e-mail request
to Fiona Billingsley or I)

Excited by Digital Communications?
Then you may want to consider
a project, perhaps one based upon our new NetFPGA equipment
NetFPGA Web Page , look out for
the NetFPGA project page (FPGA skills required.)
