Communication Theory

This document outlines the objectives and content of a Communication Theory course. The course covers the fundamentals of analog communication systems including amplitude modulation, angle modulation, noise theory, and information theory. It is divided into five units which cover topics such as AM and FM modulation/demodulation techniques, random processes, noise characterization and performance in communication systems, and information theory concepts like entropy and channel capacity. The overall goals of the course are for students to understand analog modulation systems, apply random process concepts, analyze noise performance, and understand information theory limits on communication.
