Abstract
-
To describe and provide an analytic formulation for baseband digital transmission.
-
To show how an eye diagram is produced and explain its significance for system performance assessment.
-
To note briefly what is involved in digital signal design.
-
To introduce the term ‘error probability’ and to quantify this for a Gaussian noise channel.
-
To introduce the concept of a discrete channel model.
-
To explain the principle of source coding as a means of reducing redundancy in a signal.
-
To introduce the concept of channel coding for error control.
-
To show how judicious inclusion of controlled redundancy in the form of parity bits in a digital signal can provide for error detection and correction.
-
To introduce the concept of line coding, to explain its significance and to provide illustrations of some practical line codes.
-
To describe briefly some elementary forms of digital modulation, specifically: amplitude shift keying (ASK), phase shift keying (PSK) and frequency shift keying (FSK).
