Learning Outcomes/Objectives:^{Thanks to Khaled Mahmud Shahriar and Siddhartha Shankar Das}

After undergoing this course, students should be able to:

1. Understand the fundamental concepts and components of modern digital and analog communication systems.
2. Understand mathematical foundations of communication engineering and learn to apply mathematical tools such as linear algebra, Fourier analysis, probability theory to study, model, analyze, compare and optimize the physical layer of a communication system.
3. Understand issues related to sampling, quantization and encoding which are basic blocks of an analog to digital conversion process.
4. Comprehend issues related to analog and digital signal transmission: difference between baseband and pass band transmission, different modulation techniques for efficient channel utilization, sources and effects of noise and ways to eliminate noise for error free signal transmission.
