Objectives of the Course The objective of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of fundamental communication signals as well as the operating principles of analog and digital modulation/demodulation techniques. The course covers the sampling theorem, baseband transmission, digital shift-keying methods, and optimum receiver design over noisy channels. Upon completion, students gain the competency to analyze mathematical models of modern analog and digital communication systems and apply them to engineering problems.
Course Content This course begins with signal transmission, spectral analysis principles, Fourier transform, and the Sampling Theorem (Nyquist). The first part covers the generation of amplitude-modulated (AM) signals and envelope/synchronous demodulation techniques. The second part addresses the fundamentals of digital communication systems, baseband transmission, and digital shift-keying modulation techniques (ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM). The final section thoroughly examines signal transmission over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, optimum receiver design (matched filters), and intersymbol interference (ISI).
