FINAL EXAM Textbooks The ECE 5234 class is frequently selected for MSEE comprehensive exam. The MSEE comprehensive exam 1. John G. Proakis and Masoud Selehi, is an one-hour exam, and it usually consists of several Communication Systems Engineering, 2nd ed., problems. The problems may be related to any of the Prentice Hall Inc, 2002. topics covered in the class. To prepare for the 2. Hwei Hsu, Analog and Digital comprehensive exam, one should understand basic Communications, 2nd ed., Mc Graw-Hill, 2003.

1 theoretical concepts covered in the class and review all examples and homework problems given in the class.
