Course Objectives The purpose of this course is to introduce students the principles and techniques of
modern communication systems. Topics include signal and system representations in
communication systems; continuous-wave modulation (amplitude modulation and angle
modulation); modulation and demodulation techniques; signal transmission and effect of
channel noise on performance; signal sampling; analog and digital pulse modulation;
baseband pulse-amplitude modulation; pulse shaping and matched filtering.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
* will be able to describe the basic types of signals and signal representations in
communications systems,
* will be able to describe the basic signal processing techniques used for signal
transmission in communications systems,
* will be able to explain generation and detection of linear analog modulation
techniques,
* will be able to describe the Superheterodyne receiver,
