Overall Educational Objective To learn fundamentals of analog and digital communication techniques using Fourier representation of signals and systems and learn mathematical theories of analog and digital modulation schemes.
Course Description This course provides a comprehensive introduction to analog and digital communications. The following topics are covered: properties of Fourier transform, ideal low-pass filters, power spectral density, amplitude modulation, double sideband-suppressed carrier modulation, costas receiver, single-sideband modulation, vestigial sideband modulation, angle modulation, narrowband frequency modulation, wide band frequency modulation, generation and demodulation of FW waves, sampling, pulse-amplitude modulation, pulse-position modulation, quantization, pulse-code modulation, line codes, intersymbol interference, Nyquist channel, binary amplitude shift keying, phase shift keying, frequency shift keying, m-ary digital modulation, constellation diagrams and mapping onto waveforms, additive white Gaussian noise.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) recognize fundamentals of Fourier representation of signals and systems;
2) describe key building blocks of analog and digital communication systems;
3) analyze analog and digital modulation techniques;
4) apply and demonstrate knowledge on analog and digital communication techniques using modern engineering tools.
