2 Course objectives (Contd.) Demonstrate knowledge related to carrier and phase synchronization techniques. Characterize error-control coding techniques and explain the working of Viterbi algorithm. Explain the basic concepts of notable multiplexing techniques used in digital communications. Apply the acquired knowledge to simulate digital communication applications using Matlab. To prepare students for ever expanding telecommunications market, so that they can become valuable engineers in this field. Motivations Recent Development Satellite Communications, Optical Fibre Telecommunications: Internet boom in last two decades Wireless Communications: present boom Job Market Probably one of the most easy and high paid job recently Intel and Micron changed to wireless Research Potential One to one communications has less room to go, but multiuser communication is still an open issue. 26-Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Communication System Main purpose of communication is to transfer information from a source to a recipient via a channel or medium.

3 Analog and digital communication systems Communication system converts information into electrical electromagnetic/optical signals appropriate for the transmission medium. Analog systems convert analog message into signals that can propagate through the channel. Digital systems convert bits (digits, symbols) into signals Computers naturally generate information as characters/bits Most information can be converted into bits Analog signals converted to bits by sampling and quantizing (A/D conversion) 26-Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Why digital communication? Digital techniques need to distinguish between discrete symbols allowing regeneration versus amplification Good processing techniques are available for digital signals, such as medium. Data compression (or source coding) Error Correction (or channel coding) Equalization Security Easy to mix signals and data using digital techniques 26-Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Digital vs Analog Analog communication system example Advantages of digital communications: Regenerator receiver Original pulse Regenerated pulse Propagation distance Different kinds of digital signal are treated identically. Data Voice Media A bit is a bit! Message signals Modulated signals Lecture Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE

4 Digital Communication: Transmitter Digital Communication: Receiver 26-Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Digital communications: Main Points Transmitters modulate analog messages or bits in case of a DCS for transmission over a channel. Receivers recreate signals or bits from received signal (mitigate channel effects) Performance metric for analog systems is fidelity, for digital it is the bit rate and error probability. Performance Metrics Analog Communication Systems Metric is fidelity: want mˆ ( t) m( t) SNR typically used as performance metric Digital Communication Systems Metrics are data rate (R bps) and probability of bit error P b = p( bˆ b) Symbols already known at the receiver Without noise/distortion/sync. problem, we will never make bit errors 26-Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE Feb-15 Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Islamabad Digital Communications EE
