Communications 2: Modulation & Coding Techniques
Second Year
[Focus] The course deals with random variables, bit error rate; matched filter; digital modulation techniques; ASK, FSK, QAM, CDMA and W-CDMA systems; signal space; generalized orthonormal signals; information measures-entropy; channel capacity; efficient encoding; error correcting codes information theory; data compression; coding theory.
[Output] A hardware or a computer simulation to illustrate the application of modulation and coding techniques
[Modality] The course is delivered through a combination of strategically designed face-to-face and online (synchronous and asynchronous) sessions with three (3) hours for lecture and three (3) hours for laboratory.
