Coding Techniques for Digital Communications

3 credits · Graduate

Source and channel coding techniques to improve the performance of digital communication systems are examined. The source coding methods to be studied include prediction, block coding, redundancy reduction, and synthesis/analysis coding. Emphasis is placed on channel coding techniques. Waveform coding and error control concepts are covered. Parity check codes, block codes, cyclic codes, convolutional coding and decoding algorithms, concatenated codes and interleaving are studied. Coded modulation techniques are discussed. Applications of coding techniques are presented.
