19AIE204: Introduction to Communication Systems

Prepared by: Dr. Arpita Thakre – 29 Jul 2020

Syllabus
Signal types, spectral domain representation of periodic signals, characteristics of noise and interference in
wireless channels, filters, (low-pass, bandpass and matched (correlation) and understand their impact on the
performance of a communication system.
Analog modulation schemes, FM and AM, and specify the effect of system parameters (such as carrier
frequency, bandwidth, rate) on performance.
Quantifying the effect of ADC and DAC on wireless system performance,
Digital modulation schemes (PSK, DPSK, GMSK, QPSK and QAM) , system parameters and synchronization
errors on digital modulation schemes,
Multipath effects of wireless channels and demonstrate their compensation with equalization.
multicarrier (OFDM) modulation and its performance.
Performance predictions of wireless communications with software-defined radios.
Prospects for AI in communication systems.

 Periodic signal

x(t) = x(t+T)

x[n] = x[n+N]

Periodic signal

3
 Even signal

x(-t) = x(t)
x[-n] = x[n]

4
 Odd signal

x(-t) = - x(t)
x[-n] = -x[n]
