The course is the first part of the graduate certificate program "Wireless  Secure Network Design" which includes also three other courses - PEP 602, 603  and 604.  Program focuses on heterogeneous wireless systems used by  first-responders - police, fire fighters, National Guard and other emergency  forces - to protect the public during large scale crises, such as natural  disasters and acts of terrorism.  The program also includes analysis of  homeland defense, financial and military operations using secure wireless  systems.  At the end of the program students will learn how protect existing  wireless systems and how design highly secure systems for a future use.   

   The course presents a comprehensive analysis of different parts of the   electromagnetic spectrum, transmission and modulation technologies, hardware   new artificially engineered materials, and MEMS with accent on security and    robustness of communications.
