ECE 453 - Communication Systems

Credits: 3

This course introduces various topics of analog and digital communication systems. The course will review the Fourier series and Fourier transform for continuous time signals. The discussion then turns to analog modulation techniques: amplitude and phase modulation. The effectiveness of these techniques in presence of noise will be considered. Analog-to-digital conversion is also addressed, as well as an introduction to digital modulation and data transmission techniques. The course will be administered as two 50-minute lectures per week and a three-hour lab. Student learning will be assessed through two in-class exams, a final exam, homework, and laboratory assignments.
