3299 Digital Communications I


 The course is an introductory one on digital communications, with two main subject areas: digital modulations (ASK, PSK, QAM, FSK, MSK, OFDM) and channel coding (linear block codes). For each of the topics it deals with, a concise theory is presented as well as elaborated simulation examples on the MATLAB platform, which form the basis of the students' laboratory practice. The subject matter of the course can be seen in detail in the description of the individual UNITS.
