SECOND SEMESTER 2011-2012
Course Handout Part II
Date: 07-01-2012
In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the timetable) this portion gives further specific details
regarding the course.
1. Course description:
Principles of modern analog and digital communication with more emphasis on digital communication, Amplitude and
Angle modulation, sampling, PCM, DM, ADPCM, pulse shaping, digital modulation: FSK, PSK, DPSK, QPSK etc.,
information theory, source coding & channel coding, Shannon capacity theorem, emerging trends in communication
systems. Experiments in analog and digital communication.
2. Scope & Objective:
The course introduces the principles and practices of modern analog and digital communication systems. Students will
be introduced to the functioning of modern communication systems and how they perform in the presence of noise.
The laboratory component involves system design and simulation exercises using MATLAB and Simulink. Students
will also be given assignments on communication system design, modeling and simulation. Students registering in this
course are expected to have a good understanding of basics of circuits and Signals.
