Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to introduce students the principles and techniques of modern communication systems. Topics include signal and system representations in communication systems; continuous-wave modulation (amplitude modulation and angle modulation); modulation and demodulation techniques; signal transmission and effect of channel noise on performance; signal sampling; analog and digital pulse modulation; baseband pulse-amplitude modulation; pulse shaping and matched filtering.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Describe the basic types of signals and signal representations in analog communications systems,
  • Explain the basic signal processing techniques used for signal transmission in analog communications systems,
  • Analyze generation and detection of linear analog modulation techniques,
  • Apply signal and system analysis in transform domain and signal processing,
  • Analyze operation and performance of cw modulation techniques in noisy channels,
  • Explain analog pulse modulation techniques,
  • Simulate communication techniques and systems using matlab and its communications toolbox.
