Modern Communication Systems

Catalog description

P: ECE 30100 and 30200. Development of the basic principles of communication systems with emphasis on digital modulated systems. The fundamental characteristics of sources of the information, and wired and wireless channels are studied. Upconversion and downconversion techniques are investigated. The performance of modulation is studied and optimum receivers are designed. Multicarrier modulation techniques for cellular, Wi-Fi, and ADSL communications are introduced. The principles of forward error correction are studied. Appropriate software is introduced as a companion technique for communication systems analysis.
