(Elec2220-Student) Introduction

This document provides an introduction to the ELEC2220 Control and Communications module. It will cover control topics taught by two professors and communications topics taught by Dr. SeungHwan Won over 10 lectures. Assessment includes labs, tutorials, and a final exam. The communications portion will focus on analog modulation, baseband channels, and digital modulation. It provides an overview of the wireless communication chain and discusses transmission over wireless channels. Future modules will cover more advanced coding and transmission topics.

• Stochastic (Random) Signals;  Done
• Analogue-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analogue converters (Sampling and
Quantisation);  Done
• Source-channel coding;  5 hrs (Start in W9)

Wireless comms example
(Deep-space probe)

Photo taken by the Viking Lander 1 on the 11th of February 1978.


Transmitted from Mars to Earth. Distance: between 36 million miles
to over 250 million miles (40 years ago !!!). 5
Communications Applications
The first radio transmission was demonstrated by Marconi from the Isle of
Wight in 1895, which marked the birth of "Radio Communications".
• Personal Communications: landline phone, mobile, MMS
• Internet: broadband, Wi-Fi
• Television: terrestrial, satellite, cable, mobile
Early communication systems were mostly analogue. Today most communication
systems transmit digital signals. Now we are living in digital world !!!

Overview of wireless comms chain
• A communications system can be represented by the following block
diagram:

• The components of such a communications system involve signals and


their processing in each sub-block.
• We will analyse and study (1) Analogue/digital modulations and detection
in ELEC2220 and (2) Stochastic signals, ADC/DAC, source & channel
coding in ELEC2221.
7
Transmission over wireless channel
• A signal needs to be analogue and modulated to a Radio-Frequency (RF)
carrier with (angular) frequency ωc in order to be transmitted via antennas:

• Note:
(i) different signal representations (time/frequency domain) are helpful;
(ii) distortion and noise influences need to be accounted and quantified.
