EE 6352 DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Syllabus
This course discusses the basic principles that underline the analysis and design of digital communication
systems. Main topics to be covered are the representations of digitally modulated signals, the characterization of
narrowband signals, noise and systems, the spectral characteristics, the design of modulation, optimum
demodulation and detection methods in AWGN channel, the evaluation of the error rate performance, the
channel bandwidth requirements, signal design for band-limited channels, optimum receiver for channels with
ISI and AWGN. Brief discussions on multi-carrier communications, spread spectrum communications, digital
communications through multipath fading channels, introduction to equalization methods and error correcting
codes will be included, if time permits.
