Course Description

The course will be an introduction to communication systems, primarily answering the question of how to transfer information from one point to another point. After a brief review of Fourier analysis three fundamental modulation techniques namely amplitude/phase/frequency modulation, will be covered. Then we will discuss random processes followed by the performance of above mentioned communication systems in the presence of additive noise. Digital baseband modulation would be covered with emphasis on sampling and quantization. In addition, power spectral density, pulse shaping and introductory information theory and coding theory will be discussed. Upon completion of this course, students will: Understand the fundamentals of different modulation schemes and their performance in the presence of noise. Learn the use of performance parameters namely, Bandwidth, Power, Signal to Noise Ratio for analyzing the performance of communication systems.
