 Why do you need to study this course?
 In recent years, the world has seen a massive surge
in use of various forms of communication systems
 All the communication systems including user
terminals are operating based on their respective
underlying communication technologies
 Although these technologies are changing very
rapidly all of these technologies are using some
rapidly,
fundamental concepts of communication theory
 This course will focus on the fundamental concepts
of electronic communications
 An Electrical Engineer must have the basic concepts
of communications

9
 Learning Outcomes
 Develop a solid background on the fundamental
concepts of analogg and digital
g communication
technologies

 The fundamental knowledge gathered from this

course will help you
 to understand other communication courses in the
upcoming semesters and postgraduate studies
 to pursue research in communications
 to work in communication sectors
