EE-351 Communication Systems
EE-351 Communication Systems
Course Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to communication systems, focusing on
both analog and digital communication techniques. It begins by exploring the time and
frequency domain representations of signals and systems using Fourier Transform. Students
will study signal transmission through linear systems, along with modulation techniques such
as AM and FM. Key concepts like sampling, quantization, A/D conversion, and digital
modulation schemes (ASK, PSK, DPSK, QAM) are covered to transition from analog to
digital communication. Additionally, the course introduces wireless mobile systems and
analyzes the effects of noise on system performance. Finally, Shannon’s Theorem and
information theory are discussed, with a focus on coding techniques and the trade-off
between signal-to-noise ratio and bandwidth. Practical system design and real-world
applications are emphasized throughout the course.
