This course will introduce students to the fundamental blocks that constitute a digital communication system. Starting with the analog to digital conversion block, the students will study the functionalities of the blocks such as Digital Modulator/ Digital Demodulator, Channel Encoder-Decoder.
The performance of various digital modulation schemes in AWGN channel will also be studied. Moreover, the course will also highlight the trade-off associated with bandwidth and power for various channel coding and digital modulation schemes. The course will also lay a foundation for designing optimum receivers for digital communication system in presence of AWGN channel
Students are able to describe the blocks that constitute digital communication systems
Students are able to simulate (in Matlab) the performance of a complete digital communication system in presence in white Gaussian noise.
Students are able to analyze the performance, demodulate and decode the signals in presence of additive white Gaussian noise channel
Students are able to apply and evaluate the performance of various binary channel coding schemes
