Course Objective:
This course introduces fundamental principles and techniques needed to analyze and design
digital communication systems. The course focuses on the basic building blocks of a digital
communication systems: digital modulator/demodulator, channel characteristics, channel
encoder/decoder. The major emphasis of this course is on foundations of communication
theory and practical applications.
Course Outline:
