Course Objectives: For students to be able to understand, analyze, and design fundamental
digital communication systems.
Course Outcomes: 1. Students are able to analyze digital communication signals as vectors.
2. Students understand the principles of maximum a posteriori and
maximum likelihood detection.
3. Students understand the basics of PAM, QAM, PSK, FSK, and
MSK. They can analyze probability of error performance of such
systems and are able to design digital communication systems based
on these modulation techniques as block diagrams.
4. Students understand and are able to analyze equalizers.
5. Students understand and are able to analyze synchronization systems.
6. Students understand the basics of information theory and error
correcting codes.
Prerequisites By Topic: The students are expected to have a background that includes probability
theory, analog and digital signal processing, Fourier transform theory,
random processes, and analog communication systems.
Computer Usage: Computer use is not required but can be helpful in solving problem sets.
Professional Component: Contributes towards the Electrical and Computer Engineering major
requirements for Engineering Topics courses.

Grading Criteria: The grade in this course is based on homework, a midterm examination
and a final examination which are weighted as (10% Homework + 40%
Midterm + 50% Final). The homework is assigned weekly. Letter
grades are based on a curve about the median score, which is a B- grade.
