Major Communications Subsystems • Formatting: • Key Question: • How will we take raw information (i.e. e-mails, text messages, sampled waveforms) and put it in a consistent format for transmission through a system?
Major Communications Subsystems • Modulation • Demodulation • Detection • Key Question: • How will we convert raw bits to a waveform that will propagate over a bandpass channel?
Major Communications Subsystems • Source Encoding/Decoding • Key Question: • How will protect my data from the inevitable influence of noise in the channel?
Major Communications Subsystems • Multiplexing/Multiple Access • Key Questions: • 1) How will I allow the transmission of multiple data streams at once? • 2) How will I allow multiple systems to access a single channel at the same time?
Major Communications Subsystems • Frequency Spreading • Key Questions: • How can I make efficient use of my available power? • How can I protect my signal from the effects of jamming (intentional or unintentional)?
Major Communications Subsystems • Source Coding • Key Question: • How can I compress my information so that I can send as few bits as possible? • Note: Unfortunately we will not cover this subsystem in this course.
Major Communications Subsystems • Encryption • Key Questions: • How can I ensure that an “enemy” won’t surreptitiously read my transmissions? • How can I ensure that the information I receive is really from a sender that I trust?
Course Objectives • By the time this course is over, you should be able to… • …coherently discuss each of the major subsystems of a digital communication system and why they are used. • …be able to engage in design activities related to each of the major subsystems and understand pertinent issues.
