Teaching activities
From 1995 to 2000, she was an Assitant Professor with La Rochelle University. Since 2000, Nathalie Thomas has been an Assitant Professor with the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (ENSEEIHT - University of Toulouse) in the Department of Telecommunications & Networks. She is involved in the teaching of the following lectures:
Basics of Signal Processing
- Deterministic and random signals.
- Correlation functions.
- Fourier transform, Power Spectral density.
- Linear Filtering.
Basics of Digital Signal Processing
- Digital Estimations for correlation functions.
- Fast Fourier Transform.
- Digital Linear Filtering: FIR and IIR synthesis.
Basics of Digital Communications
- Digital transmission over baseband channel: spectral efficiency,
Nyquist criteria, matched filtering, performances.
- Digital transmission over bandpass channel: linear
modulation schemes, complex envelope, spectral
efficiency, performances, a few on non linear modulations.
OFDM Modulation
- Principles: subcarrier orthogonality, implementation using
iFFT/FFT, cyclic prefix.
- Synchronization of an OFDM transmission, Peak to Average Power
Ratio issue.
Telecommunication standards including OFDM modulation
- For Digital Video Broadcasting: DVB-T, DVB-H and DVB-SH.
- For High Data Rate Local Area Networks: IEEE802.11 a and g.
- For High Data Rate Digital Subscriber Lines: xDSL modems.
