Course Description:

ITEC 319 Baseband and Bandpass Communications

Discusses the overall digital communication systems and the tools used in analyzing such systems. Students are introduced to transmit formatting, baseband modulation and matched filtering with an emphasis on the detection of the signal in the presence of noise.

ITEC 320 Digital Communications: Channel Coding

Deals with bandpass modulation and detection techniques used in a digital communication system. Channel coding is discussed in depth with an emphasis on linear block coding and cyclic coding.

ITEC 321 Synchronization and Spread Spectrum

Discusses non-binary channel coding schemes including Reed-Solomon codes. The course also introduces synchronization of digital systems in particular the phase-locked-loop implementation for achieving carrier-synchronization; bit-synchronization; frame-synchronization; and network-synchronization along with an analysis of spread spectrum techniques.

Course Objectives:

ITEC 319 Baseband and Bandpass Communications

Develop a mathematical framework for describing random variables and stochastic processes.
Design PCM and other baseband modulation techniques for transmission of baseband signals.
Develop a matched filter for detection of binary signals.

ITEC 320 Channel Coding

Catalogue basic bandpass digital modulation techniques.
Differentiate channel codes in two broad classes: waveform codes and structured sequences.
Implement and compare different channel coding schemes including block and cyclic codes

ITEC 321

Compare various channel codes using performance analysis.
Remedify the fundamental problems and issues associated with synchronization in digital communications.
Implement and compare the major spread spectrum techniques including direct sequence and frequency hopping.

Delivery Method:

Presentational Cooperative (PC)

In this course delivery model students meet once per week to participate in cooperative learning activities facilitated by an instructor. Learning that would traditionally occur in a lecture is instead supported in a Web presentation that includes multimedia and interactive elements. The Presentational Cooperative Model reproduces most of the cost advantages of traditional lecture course while offering students more convenient access and more effective conditions for learning. Courses using this model will build the collaborative work skills that are a primary learning goal for SFU Students. Some courses, using this model, offer an optional Open Lab where students can receive additional learning support. Assessment may be based on individual and group assignments, quizzes, projects, and examinations.
