The basic objective of this course is to provide students with the necessary foundations of modern digital modulation techniques and tools for spectral and error analysis of digital communication systems. At the end of the course, the students will have

• Learned the basics of digital communication in different channels,
• Been introduced to basic engineering issues in communication systems,
• Dealt with various communication system applications,
• Obtained information about the basic components of a more general communication system,
• Been exposed to subjective and practical matters considered in system design,
• Comprehended how current communication systems work through the laboratory experience enabled by software defined radio devices.
