Course content
The lecture Communications Systems Engineering deals with the most important concepts and techniques for the transmission of signals and data. It first provides the tools for signal representation and analysis. Then, it describes fundamental techniques to transmit data over a communication channel. The lecture is accompanied by a Kurs where the concepts explained in the lecture are recalled through exercises and numerical examples in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
The lecture program is the following:
- Introduction to communication systems
- Basics of signal representation and properties
- Fourier series for periodic continuous time signals
- Convolution of two signals
- Fourier transform for continuous time signals
- Complex representation of bandpass signals
- Baseband representation of systems
- Review of basic concepts of theory of probability
- Basics of random processes
- Analog modulation techniques (linear, Am and FM modulations)
- Digital base band modulation
- Receiver for digital modulation
- Bandpass digital modulation (linear and continuous phase modulation)
Prior knowledge expected
- Mathematics: functions and signals, integration
- Elements of probability: random variables and statistical description, expectation
