In the last few decades, digital communication has drastically improved our quality of life. Amenities such as fax machines, pagers, cell phones, and internet, are now considered indispensable. None of them are possible without digital communication.

This course explores elements of the theory and practice of digital communications. We will see the effects of channel impairments such as noise and distortion, on the performance of communication systems. We will study signal processing, modulation, and coding techniques that are used in digital communication systems.
