EC156 Communication System L-T-P: 3-0-0; Total 42 lectures

Prerequisites: i) Elements of Electronics Engg.

Objective: This course is intended to make students familiar with different
modulation techniques used in communication and with the different type
communication system.
Course Outcome: After completion of this Lab, students should be able to:
Determine the spectral content of periodic and non-periodic signals.
Generate analog modulated waves and demodulate the and also able to analyze
the time domain and frequency domain representation of analog modulated
wave.
Evaluate the performance levels (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of AM, FM and PM
systems in the presence of additive white noise.
Generate and analyse the Analog Pulse Modulation/Demodulation and evaluate
their performance in presence of noise.
