About the course
In addition to an introduction to information and channel capacity, the course covers the theory and applications of a number of fundamental concepts in digital communication, such as:
- vector representation
- digital modulation (PSK, QAM)
- pulse shapes
- noise
- the matched filter
- Nyquist signalling
- intersymbol interference
- detection
- optimal receivers
- maximum likelihood detection
- performance measures
- dispersive channels
- bit error rate
- OFDM
Compulsory computer exercises in Matlab are included in the course.
At the end of the course you will be able to
- Describe, explain linear modulation

- Describe, explain, calculate baseband representation of signals with passband character
- Describe, explain, calculate signal constellations, their energy, and distance properties.
- Describe, explain, calculate Nyquist pulses for communication and their properties.
- describe, explain, calculate how signals can be represented as vectors
- Describe, explain, calculate the matched filter
- Describe, explain, calculate the additive Gaussian noise and its effect.
- Describe, explain, calculate hypothesis testing and detection
- Describe, explain, calculate the Map and ML detector
- Describe, explain, calculate the Q function
- Describe, explain, calculate the error probabilities of detectors
- Describe, explain OFDM
- Evaluate and simulate simple digital communication systems in MATLAB.
