This course aims to familiarize students with the building main blocks of telecommunication systems including both transmitter and receiver sides. Students will learn to use signal processing techniques such as Fourier series analysis, and Fourier transforms in data transmission. They will also develop skills to optimize modern communication systems to performance metrics such as reliability (bit error rate), spectral efficiency (data rate), power efficiency, etc.

This course covers the basics of communication theory including signal analysis and transmission, amplitude modulation (AM), quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), frequency modulation (FM), phase modulatıon (PM), phase-locked loops, sampling, quantization, pulse transmission, digital data transmission, and recent digital communication technologies.

More specifically, the content of the course includes the following:

• Introduction to communication systems and their IoT applications.

• Review of signals and systems: signal types, energy relations.

• Fourier transform and Hilbert transform transmission of signals through linear systems.

• Filters, and bandpass systems for Filter Design.

• Amplitude modulation and DSB-SC modulation

• Single side modulation (SSB) modulation

• Vestigale side modulation (VSB) modulation

• Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM),

• phase-locked loops (PLLs),

• quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM),

• Angle modulation: frequency modulation

• Angle modulation: phase modulation

• Review of probability and random processes: WSS processes, autocorrelation function, power spectral density sampling process, and aliasing.

• Scalar quantization, vector quantization, and encoding.
