Course Title: Analog and digital Communication

LTPC: 3034
Course instructor: Mr. Mandeep Goyal
Course Description:
Objective: The course of Communication Systems -I deals with Analog
Communication which is a data transmitting technique, in a format that
utilizes continuous signals to transmit data. The course will deal with the
analysis of such systems both, in the absence, and presence of random
noise. The course will, hence, introduce the students to the concepts of
random variables and random process.
The scope of the course is to provide a complete analysis of Analog communication. This
knowledge will help the students to acquire better application of these principles in Digital
communications. This course will emphasize on:
Basic Analog modulation and demodulation techniques.
Random variables and random process.
Performance evaluation of Analog communication systems in the presence of noise.

Topics to be covered:
Introduction: Introduction to communication systems, Elements of an Electrical Communication
System, Communication Channels and their Characteristics, Mathematical models for
Communication Channels, Introduction and the need for modulation, Time domain and frequency
domain description of signals and systems (Fourier series and Transforms, LTI systems, Power
and Energy type signals etc.).
Amplitude modulation and demodulation: Conventional Amplitude Modulation (C-AM) and
demodulation, Double side band suppressed carrier (DSB-SC) Modulation and demodulation,
Single side band suppressed carrier (SSB-SC) Modulation and demodulation, Vestigial side band
(VSB) modulation and demodulation, Transmitters and receivers for various AMs, Comparison of
various AM Techniques, Introduction to signal multiplexing.
Angle (Frequency and Phase) Modulation: Basic concepts of FM and PM, FM: Single tone
and multi-tone frequency modulation, Spectral Characteristics of Angle-Modulated Signals,
Narrow-band and Wide-band FM, Transmission bandwidth of FM Wave, Transmitters and
receivers for FM and PM, Comparison of FM (PM) & AM.
Random Processes: Probability and Random Variables, Random Processes: Basic Concepts,
Description of Random Processes, Statistical Averages, Stationary Processes, Random Processes
and Linear Systems, Random Processes in the Frequency Domain, Power Spectrum of Stochastic
Processes, Transmission over LTI Systems, Gaussian and White Processes, Introduction to Bandlimited Processes and Sampling.

Systems: Effect of Noise on a Baseband System, Effect of Noise on DSB-SC-AM, Effect of
Noise on SSB-SC-AM, Effect of Noise on C-AM, Effect of Noise on Angle Modulation (FM &
PM), Threshold Effect in Angle Modulation, Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis Filtering,
