ENGR 424 Communications Theory
Fundamental components in communications systems are covered. Emphasis is placed on the effect of noise in a system and how to mitigate its effect on transmission and receiving. System design and integration is utilized to understand the practical nature of development of such systems. Aspects include the utilization of automatic gain control and phase lock loops. Modulation techniques such as amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, and quadrature modulation are covered.
Prerequisites: MATH 320 and ENGR 303, each with a C- or higher
