BEE 417 Digital Communications
Abridged Course Syllabus
The course studies digital signal formatting, baseband and bandpass modulation and detection, design of optimum receivers, analysis of probability error of PSK and FSK systems and introduction to error correcting codes. Major topics covered in the course include
Review of Signal analysis and random processes
- Digital formatting: Sampling, Quantization, encoding and PCM waveforms
- Baseband Modulation and demodulation
- Bandpass Modulation and Demodulation
- Link budget analysis
- Introduction to error control coding (linear block codes)
Course Learning Goals: After successfully completing this course, you will be able to
- Describe the process, conditions, and analysis of formatting analog signal to digital signal.
