San José State University Department of Electrical Engineering EE 160, Principles of Communication Systems, Spring 2010 Instructor: Robert H. Morelos-Zaragoza Office Location: ENGR 373 Telephone: (408) 924-3879 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: TuW 14:30-17:00pm (tentative). Other days by appointment Class Days/Time: F 9:00-11:00 Classroom: ENGR 401 Prerequisites: EE 112 Course Description Introduction to communication systems. Harmonics for analysis of amplifiers and amplitude modulators. Sampling and its applications to frequency shifting. Communication receiver architectures: Direct-conversion and heterodyne. Amplitude modulators and demodulators. Basic binary modulation techniques. Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives This course provides an introduction to communication systems. The course begins with a review of sinusoidal signals and Fourier analysis. Fourier series and harmonics are applied to understanding specifications of practical amplifiers, such as third intercept point (IP3). The sampling theorem is introduced with applications in the frequency shifting of signals. This is followed by an analysis of analog modulation (AM) techniques, including spectral density and correlation and signal-to-noise ratios. Binary communication systems are, including on-off keying, amplitude-shift keying and frequency-shift keying. The course ends with an analysis of the performance of binary modulation techniques in communication systems.

Other readings Proakis, Salehi and Bauch, Contemporary Communication Systems Using Matlab, 2nd ed., Brooks Cole, 2002. Stern and Mahmoud, Communication Systems, Prentice Hall, 2004. Sklar, Digital Communications: Fundamentals and Applications, 2nd Ed., Prentice Hall, 2001. Other material Handouts either posted in the web page or distributed in class. Classroom Protocol Students are expected to participate actively in class. Students will turn their cell phones off or put them on vibrate mode while in class. They will not answer their phones in class. Dropping and Adding Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops, academic renewal, etc. Information on add/drops are available at http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/soc-fall/rec-298.html. Information about late drop is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/sac/advising/latedrops/policy/ . Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for adding and dropping classes. Assignments and Grading Policy There will be two midterm exams and a final exam. Exams cover the assigned reading materials and class lecture notes. There will be no make-up exams (only in very special circumstances, both written excuse and official proofs are required for extraordinary exams). Exam solutions will be discussed in class after the exam dates and posted in the web site of the course. Homework will be given as follows. Some homework problems require the use of a computer to perform simulations. Assignment Topic(s) Learning Objectives 1 Nonlinearities and harmonics LO3, LO4 2 Fourier series LO5 3 Fourier transform LO5 4 Sampling process LO5, LO6, LO75 Amplitude modulation
