The course unit aims to: Introduce the students to a wide range of fundamental communication concepts and techniques using example applications from contemporary communication systems. On the successful completion of the course, students will be able to:ILO 1: Apply various signal analysis such as spectrum estimation technique.ILO 2: Define and explain of the process of transmission through linear time invariant systems.ILO 3: Describe fundamental types of analogue and digital modulation techniques.ILO 4: Apply various fundamental concepts in analog and digital communication systemsILO 5: Design basic forms of frequency and time division multiple access techniques. <ul><li>Lectures</li><li>Pre-recorded videos</li><li>Online quizzes</li><li>Podcasts</li><li>Simulation software based Labs and demonstration</li></ul> 0 Other 20% 1 Written exam 80% Coursework forms 20% of the overall unit assessment. .
