Course Objective

This course is a graduate level introduction to the basic principles of digital communication systems. A digital communication system is one that transmits a source (voice, video, data, etc.) from one point to another, by first converting it into a stream of bits, and then into symbols that can be transmitted over channels (cable, wireless, storage, etc.). The course gives an overview of thge designs of digital communication systems. We explain the mathematical foundation of decomposing the systems into separetly designed source codes and channel codes. as a result the basic principles of digital communication theory and techniques are emphasized.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to define the geometric representation of signals.
2   To be able to define fundamental limits on the efficiency of a source and the rate of reliable information transmission over a channel.
3   To be able to use source coding techniqes.
4   To be able to know and compare the most used digital modulation techniques.
5   To be able to propose different solutions into problems of different channels(Equalizers and channel coding).
