Course Objectives
In this graduate level introductory course, students
will learn the basic principles involved in the analysis and design of digital
communication systems. Basic mathematical tools such as probability
theory, random processes, complex signals and systems theory, signal and
Prerequisites
An undergraduate course in digital communication with
emphasis on probability and random processes and signal analysis in
time/frequency domain.
Course Outline
Topics covered include:
1. Review of Fundamental Concepts:
introduction to digital communication, probability theory, random processes,
autocorrelation and power spectrum density, complex signals and systems,
signal space representation, Fourier analysis of signals and systems (Ch.
1.1-1.3, 2.1-2.2, 4.1-4.2) [3 weeks]
2. Source Entropy and Channel Capacity: entropy, source coding, rate distortion, channel capacity and coding
(Ch. 3.1-3.4, 7.1-7.2) [2 weeks]
3. Digital Modulation Techniques: ASK,
PSK, FSK, constellations, power spectra, pulse shaping, precoding (Ch.
4.3-4.4)[2.5 weeks]
4. Signal and Receiver Design with Performance Analysis: AWGN channel, band-limited channel, optimum receiver structure, error
probability, inter-symbol interference, signal design, performance
characterization and analysis of digital communication systems. (Ch.
5.1-5.2, 5.5, 9.1-9.3) [3.5 weeks]
