| 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 CompetencesUpon 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. |
