Lecture notes for EE30031, Digital Communications:

All files are PDF versions of my handwritten notes. All files are about 400kb or less.

I don't mind you downloading all of the notes to read in advance, but be warned you can't really learn by osmosis!* Just having the notes is not quite the same as understanding them - you might just want to come to the lectures as well!
