Introduction to Communication Systems
Course Objective
- Introduction to communication systems
- Behavior of various modulation schemes in the noisy environments
- Sampling quantization and source coding
- Communication system design, trade off between power efficiency, bandwidth efficiency and system complexity
- Time domain and frequency domain analysis of communication systems
Focus on:
- Analog and digital communication systems with more emphasis on digital communications
- Basics of communication theory and applications
- Application of basic knowledge on probability, Fourier analysis and linear system to analyze communication systems and solve communication problems
- A practical approach will be taken along with Matlab experiments
