Principles of communication

Course Description: Fundamental elements of communication systems, including: types of communication systems and their basic components, the receiver, the transmitter, and the communication channel. It also covers wireless communication systems and superheterodyne transceivers. Basic modulation techniques, including: Amplitude Modulation (AM), Frequency Modulation (FM), and Phase Modulation (PM). Pulse modulation techniques, including: Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), Differential Pulse Code Modulation (DPCM), and Delta Modulation (DM). Signal multiplexing, including: Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM). Introduction to digital modulation (Shift Keying), including: Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), and Phase Shift Keying (PSK).
