Fall 2025 Lecture Laboratory Distance Learning Upper DivisionAnalysis and design of analog and digital communication systems. Emphasis on engineering applications of theory to communication system design. The laboratory introduces the use of advanced engineering workstations in the design and testing of communication systems.
Learning Outcomes1Recognize and analyze in the time and frequency domain the performance of amplitude and frequency modulated analog communications systems in the presence of noise. [1]
2Understand the importance, computation, and measurement using modern test equipment of standard performance measures of analog systems, which include bandwidth and signal to noise ratio. [1,4]
3Recognize and analyze in the time and frequency domains the performance of various digital modulation formats, including ASK, QAM, PSK, and FSK in the presence of noise. [1]
4Understand the importance, computation, and measurement using modern test equipment of standard performance measures of digital systems which include bandwidth and hit error probability. [1,4]
5Understand the basics of information theory and error control codes including the effect of error control codes on the bandwidth and bit error probability of digital systems. [1]
