Goals:
Learn to analyze and design digital modulation and demodulation
schemes for memoryless channels and channels with memory.
Topics:
- Introduction to mathematical
techniques of digital communication theory: fundamentals of probability,
introduction to random processes, spectral analysis of deterministic and
random signals, narrow band signals and bandpass systems, discrete
representation of deterministic and random signals, elements of detection
theory.
- Waveform transmission over the additive Gaussian channel:
memoryless modulation, optimum receivers for coherent and noncoherent
demodulation, error probability performance.
- Digital modulation
schemes: important modulation methods, receivers, error rate
performance, comparison between signalling schemes, and
practical applications.
`
- System design for intersymbol interference
channels: optimum design of receivers under the Nyquist criterion, the
mean-squared error criterion, and the maximum likelihood sequence
receiver.
Computer Usage:
- Moderate.
Laboratory Projects:
- None.
