Pre-requisite: Signal and Systems/equivalent

1. Course Description: This course provides the ideas and techniques fundamental to analog and
digital communication systems, related to transmission of information over wired and wireless
communication channels. The course focuses on developing and understanding of the principles and
techniques of analog and digital modulation. Communication transmitter and receiver design
techniques are discussed for different transmission conditions. Noise and error analysis techniques are
also introduced. Emphasis is placed on system design goals and the need for tradeoffs among basic
system parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), probability of error and bandwidth
expenditure.

2. Career Opportunities: A fundamental course for an engineer to get placed in Research

Engineers, Communication and Information technology industries. Communication system designers
should have an exceptional aptitude for math and science. The minimum educational requirement for
holding an entry-level position in this field is a bachelor's degree from an accredited engineering
program. Courses often include circuit design, signal processing, communications systems and
programming languages.
