Textbook
Lathi, B., Modern Digital & Analog Communication
Systems, 3rd Ed., 1998
Course Description
This course introduces and emphasizes essential analytical
tools and theories of communication systems. Knowledge of Fourier series,
transforms, and transmission of signal through linear systems is fundamental
for this course. Analog communications, such as Amplitude Modulation
and Angle Modulation (FM, PM), are major parts of this course. Sampling
theorem and quantization are also covered followed by an introduction
to digital communications, line coders, and pulse shaping.
Course Objectives
The course objectives are to enable the students
to:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of communication systems.
- Understand and compare several analog modulation schemes.
- Apply sampling and quantization theorems to convert analog signals
to digital.
- Design basic communications systems, FDMA and TDMA.
- Enhancing group work through a course project.
