Digital Communication (EC302)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is a comprehensive course on ‘Digital Communication‘ prepared for the engineering students of KTU to understand the concept of digital representation of analog source, to understand the performance comparison various pulse modulation schemes, to discuss Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) problem in Digital communication and to derive the Nyquist Criteria for zero ISI in data transmission, to analyse the need for introducing ISI in controlled manner, to understand signal space representation of signal using Gram Schmidt orthonormalisation procedure, to analyse the error probability for different modulation schemes like BPSK, BFSK, QPSK etc., to understand the principle of spread spectrum communication and to illustrate the concept of FHSS and DSSS, to understand various Multiple Access Techniques. This course will also helps them to prepare for their university examination. The course content covers the essential  fundamentals as per the curriculum assigned by APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU). The student can attempt the optional assignment questions and MCQ test to strengthen their knowledge on the topic. The assessment algorithm of our LMS will help the students evaluate their performance till they get a certification of completion.
