CIS 530 Digital Communications
This course concentrates on digital communication techniques as utilized in present and future systems. An emphasis is placed on analog to digital conversions, digital sampling techniques, digital modulation and transmission, and multiplexing and coding techniques. The uses of Laplace, Z transforms, and discrete-time systems are covered. Power spectral density analysis, coherent, and non-coherent modulation are important topics. Realization of digital transmission techniques and medium as well as spread spectrum are covered. Satellite communications and multiple access techniques are also important topics. Prerequisite: None.
