ECE 342 - Communication Theory
- Course outline:
A first course in communications, either at a senior level or at a first-year graduate level, this course provides an introduction to the basic principles in the design and analysis of modern communication systems. We intend to cover both analog communication systems and digital communication systems, with emphasis on the latter. The topics include: signal analysis and transmission, analog communication systems (analog modulation), and digital communication systems (A/D conversion, source encoding, channel encoding, digital modulation, detection and estimation).
- Prerequisite: Signals and Systems (ECE108 or equivalent);
Statistics and Random processes (or equivalent).
