GUIDA DELLO STUDENTE
Aims
(english version)
This course aims at providing the fundamentals for signals description and characterization, both deterministic and random, for understanding
the main techniques used for information transmission, in a generic communication system, and its protection against noise and other
superposed disturbances.
Topics
- Deterministic signals and their representation in the time and frequency domains.
- Random signals.
- Characterization of a telecommunication system.
- AWGN channel.
- Analog modulations.
- Quantization.
- Information sources and source coding.
- Representation of digital signals over the AWGN channel and the band-limited channel.
- Demodulation and quality in digital transmissions over the AWGN channel and the band-limited channel.
- Channel coding.
Exam
The exam consists of a written exercise followed by an oral proof. The admission to the oral proof is conditioned on the overcome of the
written exercise.
