Communication Systems

Fall Semester 2024

Lecturers

Prof. Dr. Christoph Studer
Dr. Stefan M. Moser

Course Outline

The course teaches the fundamentals of digital communication systems. The main topics are analog and digital modulation, signals and linear time-invariant systems, baseband and passband transmission, continuous time and discrete time channel models, noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), detection theory, inter-symbol interference and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), basics of forward error correction, and basics of information theory. The exercises cover theoretical aspects as well as modeling of simple communication systems in MATLAB.
