COURSE TITLE: COMMUNICATION PRINCIPLES


Rationale
The critical role telecommunications systems have been playing in the modern exchange of information
makes it imperative to introduce students intending to specialise in electronic and telecommunications
engineering to fundamental communication principles.
Aim
This course aims at equipping students with fundamentals in Telecommunications Engineering principles
and techniques.
Course Objectives
A student completing this course should be able to:
1. to determine the power and bandwidth requirements of the signal, given a signal consisting of simple
function,
2. determine its spectral representation of a signal
3. Determine the bandwidth required for various modulation techniques (AM, FM, PM) for a signal.
4. Determine the Nyquist sampling rate, required number of bits/sample needed to achieve the desire SNR
and the resulting bit-rate for a signal.
