+I'm available today from 11:30am to 1pm in my office if you have any questions.

+Final will cover the material not covered by the midterm (i.e. the stuff we completed by Tue. Oct. 21 strictly speaking L7 slide 14 on to L15 inclusive), however there is a caveat: L4 discusses foundational ideas that appear throughout the course (i.e. in Ch. 3, 5, and 6) so please don't forget that material and questions from Assig. 2 that pertain to it as well as Assig. 3 and 4.  Things that you don't have to worry about is stuff like classification, routing tables, and topologies.

+Quiz 4 notes (this Thurs. end of class): Can potentially cover Assig. 4 stuff (the one posted right now...apologies for confusion), Q1-Q11 (Q11 corresponds to Prob. 3.55) and Lectures on Basic Baseband comms (L10), Line Coding (L11), Modulation (L12).  No digitization.  No error detection/correction stuff.
+===== Nov. 24, 2014 =====
+Question 11 on Assig. 4 is not due.  I forgot that you have already been given a solution for that one.

+Assig. 4 posted.  Due Tue. Nov. 25 in class by the end of class.

+Assignment 3 solutions posted.  Just a quick note for question 5 and the link between data rate and frequency separation for WDM.  It was found each of our wavelengths occupied 16.6 GHz of bandwidth.  Now please be aware that this is a bandpass bandwidth (centred around a 1550-nm wavelength).  In class today we highlighted that if your bandwidth is Ws then in fact you can signal at a rate of 2*Ws, but this is for a baseband signal (that is one with frequency response from 0 to Ws...or more correctly -Ws to Ws).  If your signal is a bandpass signal with bandwidth Ws (from say fc-Ws/2 to fc+Ws/2) then it turns out your maximum rate is just Ws (not 2*Ws).  Hence the maximum rate for our WDM per wavelength came out to 16.6 Gbps (since this is a bandpass signalling scheme).  We'll explain this change in data rate from baseband to bandpass in an upcoming lecture (L12), for some reason I forgot we won't be covering it till then.
+As for the quiz: Basically it can cover notes from L8 and L9 (but I won't ask you ADC SNR stuff since we just covered it today) as well as Assig. 3 up to question 13.
+Also, question 14 on Assig. 3 will be marked as a bonus question.
