Course Objectives		For the students who want to be expert in the field of communication theory and systems: 1) to introduce the basic properties of signals and systems used in digital communications, 2) to teach methods to evaluate the system performance, 3) to convey approaches to improve the system performance
Course Description		Representation of bandpass signals and systems, complex envelope, lowpass equivalents, representation of bandpass random processes. Signal-space concept: Vector channels. Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization method, recovery of signal vectors, correlator and matched filter receivers. Calculation of the error probability in Gaussian noise channels, union bound for the error probability. Efficient signaling for message sequences: Time – bandwidth - dimension relationship, selection of efficient signals. Channel capacity theorem. Bandwidth efficient coding in signal space: Coded modulation, properties, design criteria, performance analysis.
Course Outcomes		M.Sc./Ph.D. students who successfully pass this course gain knowledge, skill and competency in the following subjects: I) Expressing digitally modulated signals in time and frequency domain, revealing their spectral properties, II) Expressing digitally modulated signals in signal space, developing the vectorial communication model, III) Designing receiver structures, evaluating the error performance of the receiver, IV) Solving the problem of efficient signaling for message sequences, calculating the channel capacity, V) Using the coded modulation techniques to improve the performance in band limited channels.
