Analog and Digital Communication Theory

(4 Credits)

The course introduces the principles of the various analog communication fundamentals. Topics covered include: analog modulation techniques such as FM, AM, and PM; noise performance of various receivers; and digital data transmission, data encoding, BER, modulation techniques such as ASK, FSK, PSK and QAM, and the effects of noise and bandwidth. The labs emphasize experiential learning of basic analog and digital communication theory concepts and applications, including experiments demonstrating analog and digital modulation techniques.
