Analog and Digital Communications Virtual Lab
By the end of this virtual lab, learners will be able to:
- Perform and interpret basic matrix operations and decompositions used in signal-processing and communication-system analysis.
- Use Fourier-series, Fourier-transform, and power-spectral-density concepts to analyse signals in the time and frequency domains.
- Understand the statistical response of systems driven by wide-sense-stationary inputs.
- Generate and analyse analog AM, FM, and PM signals, and understand their corresponding demodulation processes.
- Explain and investigate DSB-SC and SSB-SC modulation and detection.
- Explore pulse modulation methods, including PAM, PWM, PPM, and delta modulation, and understand their demodulation principles.
- Generate and detect ASK, FSK, and BPSK signals, and examine their passband representations.
- Study how communication-channel effects influence transmitted signals and receiver performance.
- Understand modulation schemes with memory, particularly MSK and GMSK, and their continuous-phase characteristics.
- Develop an introductory understanding of frequency- and time-division multiplexing concepts.
