OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of communication systems. The course introduces both analog and digital communication techniques, focusing on signal representation, modulation and demodulation methods, channel effects, and performance limitations. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze, design, and evaluate basic communication systems and understand the transition from analog to modern digital communication technologies.
Contents of the Course Unit:	This course covers the basic structure and operation of communication systems, starting with a review of communication basics and signals and systems. Analog communication techniques such as amplitude and angle modulation are studied, along with their corresponding demodulation methods. The course then examines the transition from analog to digital communication, including the effects of noise and fading channels. Fundamental digital communication concepts, digital modulation schemes, multiplexing techniques, and an introduction to information theory and coding are also presented. Emphasis is placed on practical understanding and theoretical analysis of communication system performance.
