Objectives of the Course

This course aims to teach students the fundamental principles of analog communication systems. Within this framework, the concept of modulation, as well as types of amplitude and angle modulation, are examined in detail. It teaches the impact of noise on analog communication systems and the behavior of modulation techniques in response to noise.
