Continuous Signals and Systems

Catalog description

This course presents the theoretical and practical aspects of analog communication systems. Includes the signal analysis using Fourier series and Fourier transform; spectral and time domain considerations related analog modulation techniques such as Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM). AM and FM demodulation, Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), effects of noise on communication system performance, and signal and noise modeling using probabilistic descriptions. The course has an associated Laboratory experiments set, which will require the use of simulation software (e.g. MATLAB, LABVIEW) and hardware equipment. Prerequisites: EE 309 with a minimum grade of C, and MATH 2320 with a minimum grade of C.
