The course source provides an extensive overview of the principles of communication, detailing the foundational concepts and components of communication systems. It begins by defining communication and signals before comprehensively explaining various modulation techniques, including continuous-wave modulation (Amplitude and Angle Modulation) and pulse modulation (Analog and Digital Modulation like PCM and Delta Modulation). The text also discusses the detrimental effects and types of noise in communication, the importance of signal analysis, and advanced topics such as M-ary encoding, information theory, and spread spectrum modulation. Finally, the source covers specific communication applications, dedicating sections to FM radio, optical fibre communications, and the mechanics and orbits related to satellite communications.
Principles of Communication Systems Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
