Course Objectives
- Allow the student to gain deep analytical and practical understanding of analog and digital modulation principles, transceiver and receiver structures,
- Provide the students an operational knowledge of basic communication system design techniques and related tradeoffs so that the student will be able to choose a modulation type, bandwidth, power, filter structure, and other system parameters for a given set of communication objectives and constraints.
Course Content
Amplitude modulation (AM) and other linear carrier wave(CW) modulation techniques. Frequency/phase modulation (FM/PM).Superheterodyne receivers and applications. Noise in CW modulated systems. Sampling and quantization, Pulse Code Modulation(PCM). Geometric representation in signal space. Antipodal and orthogonal signaling schemes. Basic types of baseband and passband binary digital modulation.
