Communication Principles is a foundational course for those majoring in the communication option in final year. This course introduces students to:
- the essential approaches, fundamental concepts and design issues in communication engineering.
The course emphasizes the understanding of engineering principles. Mathematics is used only at a level that is absolutely necessary
- basic concepts of modulation techniques including amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM) and phase modulation (PM) that are widely used in analogue communication systems, and basic techniques for analyzing such systems in the time and frequency domains
- basic concepts of a digital communication system including sampling theorem, pulse code modulation (PCM) and principles of digital data transmission, and basic techniques for analyzing such systems in the time and frequency domains.
