Aim:
After completed course the student should be able to
- give an account of central concepts, problems and basic definitions within the area of digital communications,
- perform typical calculations regarding different modulation schemes, specifically obtaining error probabilities and spectral efficiency, and compare to fundamental limits,
- give an account of the structure of different transmitters and receivers, and also handle optimal filters for transmission and reception, specifically discrete time equivalents,
- analyze and compare different detection methods, both coherent and noncoherent
- give an account of different synchronization methods and schematically describe their basic circuitry designs,
- explain and perform calculations of fundamental limits of communication system performance
- perform typical calculations and analyses of examples of convolutional codes,
- evaluate communication systems in block form empirically using tools from the course
