 Course Objectives:
This course is structured as a seniorlevel design course
emphasizing fundamental communication principles and
the application of these principles to contemporary
analogue and digital communication systems. It assumes

the
frequency spectrum (both continuous and discrete), and
probability and statistics (random variable theory).
Students learn basic concepts (both digital and analogue)
associated with information, coding, modulation,
detection, and signal processing in the presence of noise.
They apply these concepts to the design of contemporary
communications, and digital telephony such as television,
radio, and satellite communications.
