Catalog Course Description
Analog and digital modulation and demodulation theory. Review of probability theory and stochastic processes. Statistical characterization of noise and communication channels. Performance of communication systems in the presence of noise.
Learning Outcomes:
| 1. | Analyze and design basic communications systems, particularly with application to noise-free analog communications. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Apply concepts and techniques from Fourier analysis to communication systems. |
| 3. | Compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of various communication systems. |
| 4. | Characterize random processes and apply probability/random process theory to formulate and solve communication problems. |
| 5. | Analyze the performance of analog communication systems under noise. |
Course Objective
Major objectives of this course are 1) to introduce the students to the world of communication systems 2) to acquire the mathematical tools and theories necessary to analyze and design an analog communication system 3) to be build and compare different analog communication systems according to a specific need/purpose 4) to acquire the basics knowledge on probability theory and random processes that are necessary to analyze the performance of analog communication system in the presence of random noise. Topics include Fourier techniques in communication systems design and analysis, amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulation (PM), random signals and noise, behavior of analog communication systems under noise.
