Course Description:
This course introduces electrical communication systems from a system point
of view. The main topics covered in this course include:
·
Representation of
signals; Fourier series and transforms; time and frequency convolution (jointly
with ENSC328)
·
Amplitude modulation:
circuits and systems, single sideband, vestigial sideband
·
Angle modulation:
phase and frequency modulation, circuits and systems
·
Representation of
random signals: correlation, power spectra, processing in linear systems (jointly with ENSC328)
·
Effect of noise on
different modulation systems
·
Digital modulation techniques
and basics of detection
Prerequisites:
ENSC-380 and STAT-270 are required for
students wishing to take this course. You will also be expected to be able to
program in MATLAB.
