CMPE 423 - Principles of Communication Engineering (3)

Time- and frequency- domain description of signals used in communication. Mathematical characterization of noise effects. The mathematical description of analog modulation of transmissions, including amplitude, phase, and frequency modulation, and basic block-diagram level description of associated receiver and transmitter architectures. The effects of AWGN on analog modulations. Digital transmission by energy- and bandwidth constrained waveforms, including PAM, PSK, QAM and M-ary orthogonal signaling. Analysis of digital communications in additive white Gaussian channels. Overall communication systems engineering process, including the analysis and preparation of link-budgets for free-space, line-of-sight propagation, with examples drawn from contemporary radio communication systems.
