Course Learning Outcomes

1-Use theorems such as Parseval’s theorem and tools such as Fourier transform to represent and quantify signals in time and frequency domain as well as understand the characteristics of distortion-less communication channel. 2-Describe the basic theory, compare advantages and disadvantages, identify and compute parameters, the performance metrics, and explain the working of the different types of analog transceiver designs using time and frequency domain analysis. 3-Apply principles of Analog to Digital conversion and design Quantizers under various constraints.
