COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is designed to give students an ability to analyze and design a basic analog and digital
communication systems.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Student will be able to

1. Determine the spectral contents of time-domain signal by applying Fourier analysis.

2. Describe and analyze the mathematical techniques of generation, transmission and
Reception of analog modulation signals.
3. Convert analog signals to digital format using sampling and quantization techniques.
4. Describe and analyze the methods of transmission of digital data using baseband
and carrier modulation techniques.
5. Evaluate the performance of digital data transmission in the presence of additive
white Gaussian noise.
6. Use software to implement the communication system and analyze its performance.
7. Recognize the necessity of life-long learning and engage in life-long learning through
timely exposure to the evolving and new technologies in the field of communications.

0 points will be given.

4. No make-up is allowed for Quiz. Date and coverage of Quiz will be announced in advance at the class
time.

5. Phone and camera are not allowed to use in the class time and tests (Quiz, Midterm and Final). If you
need to use them, please go outside of the class room! In case you need lecture notes and textbook for
test (in case of Test with Open Book and Notes), you should bring the hard copies only.

6. MISCONDUCT: Students may work together on homework problems or assigned papers, but must
submit their own work. Students are not allowed to work together on exams, tests and Quiz. Any
occurrence of academic misconduct will result in a grade of F in the course. Students that receive a
reduced course grade as a result of academic misconduct will not be allowed to withdraw from the
