Communication Systems

Catalog description

The course investigates ways of processing a signal both to prepare it for effective transmission through some medium or media that may be carrying other signals, and to reconstruct the original signal at the receiving end. Students will: analyze and design basic communication systems using block-diagram models of filters, samplers, and modulators; compare and contrast multiple-access communication techniques including AM, FM, coding and keying; calculate the basic quantities such as channel capacity, probability of error, and bandwidth needed to transmit analog or digital signals in base-band or in pass-band.
