Course Summary: Introduction to basic concepts of communication systems; modulation and demodulation techniques, analog modulation: AM, FM, PM, Digital communication techniques and their merits/demerits; noise in communication system; Overview of modern communication systems, PSTN- Switching functions and Traffic analysis.
Course Objectives: The course objectives of this course are to
- expose students to various classical analog transmission techniques and modern digital communication systems and provide them with the understanding of traffic analysis.
- familiarize with the Digital communication systems and their advantage over analog counterpart.
- learn about the analog to digital conversion process and various encoding techniques: ASK, FSK, PSK. Understand the application of ‘Nyquist’ and ‘Shannon’ capacity formula.
- analyze the behavior of digital communication system under the presence of noise and to equip students with the knowledge of resource calculation through traffic analysis.
- introduce modern day cellular communication system and related phenomena.
