Communication Systems

This course introduces the fundamentals of communication systems. Topics include: deterministic and random waveforms, channel capacity, channel coding, properties of signals and noise, Fourier transforms and spectra, orthogonal functions, linear time-invariant systems, amplitude and frequency modulation, pulse code modulation, multiplexing techniques, bandwidth of signals, digital signaling, line codes, random process, stationarity, ergodicity, error probability in binary reception, covariance functions, power density spectrum spread spectrum systems, wired and wireless communication applications.
