This subject aims to present the basic principles that underlie the analysis and design
principle of modern digital communication systems. This subject involves the transmission
of information in digital form from a source that generates the information to one
or more destinations. In this subject, we cover the following topics: Probability
and Stochastic Processes, Modulation Schemes, Optimum Receiver for AWGN Channels,
An Introduction to Information Theory, Error Control Coding, Multiple Access Techniques,
and Multiple Antenna Systems. The Software-Defined Radio will also be introduced.
After the study of this course, the students should be able to apply advanced mathematic
tools and analysis methodologies in modern communications systems, to design and evaluate
the performance of optimum receivers for various modulation methods when the channel
corrupts the transmitted signal by the addition of white Gaussian noise, and analyse
the fundamental limits on digital communications from information theory perspective
etc.
Learning Outcomes
- apply the mathematic tools and models in modern communications systems;
- design and evaluate the performance of various digital modulations and optimum receivers
for signal transmission over a communication channel;
- analyse the fundamental limits on digital communications from an information theory
perspective;
- implement error control coding in digital communication to achieve reliable transmission
through a noisy channel;
- design and integrate the building blocks of modern communications systems using high-level
programming tools with software-defined radio.
