Course Objectives This course aims to provide the basic principles and techniques of analog communication systems.
Specific topics include: signal and system representation in communication systems, continuouswave modulation: AM and FM/PM modulation and demodulation, effects of channel noise on performance; sampling, quantization, and coding; analog pulse modulation: PAM, PWM, and PPM, digital pulse modulation: PCM, DM, and DPCM; baseband pulse transmission, pulse shaping and matched filtering.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Explain the theoretical foundations of analog communications,
  • describe the function and characteristics of most common analog modulations used in communication systems,
  • analyze basic analog communication systems involving transmit and receive operations,
  • use probability theory and stochastic processes in communication system applications,
  • simulate and analyze performance (in Matlab) for basic analog communication systems discussed in class.
Course Description Topics covered in class include review of signals and linear systems; probability and random processes; introduction to communication systems, baseband and carrier communication, amplitude modulation (AM), doublesideband surpressed carrier (DSBSC), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), Hilbert transform, singlesideband modulation (SSB), vestigial sideband modulation (VSB); angle modulation: frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM); effects of noise; transmitter and receiver design, equalization.
