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,
