Catalog description

Covers fundamentals of digital communication systems, in particular, various source and channel coding techniques and channel properties, and touches upon concepts from information theory that are used to determine and quantify transmission of information through a channel. Includes a comparison between analog and digital modulation techniques, with a special focus on the latter (e.g., PSK (BPSK, QPSK), PAM, QAM, FSK, etc.). Covers constellation mapping and detection techniques.
