Overview

The influence of noise and interference on the design and selection of digital and analog communications systems is analyzed. Topics include link budget analysis and signal-to-noise ratio calculations, receiver performance for various analog and digital modulation techniques, and bandwidth and signal power trade-offs. Examples of military communications systems are included. 

Prerequisites

  • EC3410 or EC3500

Learning Outcomes

  • To obtain an understanding of the capabilities and limitations digital communications systems in wideband noise.
  • To understand various digital modulation schemes.
  • To be able to implement and analyze (via computer-aided-design simulations) communications systems and understand various trade offs.
  • To obtain an understanding of the link budget and parameters that affect link margin analysis.
