Syllabus

Unit 1

Introduction to communication systems, introduction to signals, different types of signals and their characteristics, concept of system, linear time-invariant (LTI) system, sinusoids- concept of frequency, in-phase and quadrature component, bandwidth, pass band and stop band, Introduction to SDR platforms and devices- MATLAB Simulink and GNU radio Companion (GRC), RTL-SDR and Adalm Pluto. Signal analysis/ spectrum analysis and visualization using SDR tools.

Unit 2

Need for modulation, analog modulation schemes, amplitude modulation (AM) and its types – AM-DSB-SC, AM-DSB-TC, SSB. AM Demodulation schemes, angle modulation- frequency modulation (FM) -Narrowband and wideband, phase modulation, FM demodulation, implementation of analog modulation/demodulation schemes using SDR tools.

Unit 3

Quadrature amplitude modulation and demodulation, pulse analog modulation schemes, digital carrier modulation/demodulation Schemes- amplitude shift keying (ASK), frequency shift keying (FSK), phase shift keying (PSK), M-ary signalling, BPSK, QPSK, implementation of digital modulation/demodulation schemes using SDR tools. Multicarrier modulation- OFDM, MIMO, Prospects of AI in communication system- radio signal or modulation classification.
