The content of "Communication I" represents the basic knowledge necessary for transmitting and receiving information using today's communication technologies. The techniques that will be studied involve coding information on to a carrier (modulation) which is then transmitted. The received signal is then decoded (demodulated) yielding the original information. Emphasis will be given to analog modulation of both analog and digital signals. This course will cover the concepts associated with the Fourier transform, spectral analysis and signal modulation/demodulation. The modulation techniques covered will include Amplitude Modulation (AM), Double Side Band Suppressed Carrier (DSB-SC) modulation and Frequency Modulation (FM). Also, time division and frequency division multiplexing techniques will be studied. Moreover, this course cover noise analysis and how to find signal to noise ratio. Finally, introduction to satellite communication and up-down frequency conversion will be studied.
