Course Objectives

 

The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the basic principles in the design and analysis of communication systems.

 

Course Learning Outcomes

 
  1. Students are required to recall  frequency analysis of signals and systems concepts, particularly their mathematical modeling, and representation.
  2. Students will learn the principles of Amplitude Modulation (AM) schemes, such Double Sideband Supressed Carrier (DSB-SC), DSB with Carrier, Single Side Band (SSB), and Vestigial Side Band (VSB).
  3.  Students will be able to express  the principles and concepts related to Angle Modulation schemes, in particular, Frequency Modulation (FM) and Phase Modulation (PM).
  4. Students will be able to contrast the advantages and disadvantages of  amplitude and angle modulation schemes.
  5. Students will be required to recall their knowledge on probability and statistics, and they will also be exposed to the first principles of stochastic variables and processes.
  6. They will be able to connect the input signal to noise ratio (SNR) to the output SNR for amplitude and angle modulation systems.
  7. Students will be to compare the noise performance of modulation schemes, and they will be able to select the most appropriate modulation scheme  for a given scenario.
  8. Students will know the errors caused by quantization, and be able to calculate the quantization signalto noise ratio.
  9. They will know the principles pulse code modulation, delta modulation, and adaptive delta modulation schemes that are implemented at the source of a digital communication system.
  10. Student will know the entropy  of a message, and that the information provided by a message is related to the probability of occurence of that message.
  11. They will know and be able to contrast the methods of message compression implemented at the source  of a digital communication system.
