Course Objectives: This course is an introduction to analog and digital communication systems. It
includes Fourier series, Fourier transform, amplitude modulation, angle modulation, sampling and analog
to digital conversion, principle of digital data transmission. We will analyze the transmitter and the receiver
and we will study its effectiveness. All communication systems introduced will be examined in the absence
of noise. In the lab you will have the opportunity to build communication systems or components of a
communication system.
