The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.
Learning objective
Digital communication is a part of our everyday lives, whether we are sending e-mails, watching TV, listening to the radio, or using a cell phone. In this P&S, we will familiarize ourselves with the basics of digital communication.
On conventional PCs, the students will implement their own software modems for data transmission. These modems, just like the digital communication systems used in real life, consist of a modulator, a demodulator and an algorithm to synchronize the carrier of the incoming message. Once implemented, these modems can be used to acoustically transmit any data (such as small text files) between PCs.
We use MATLAB but previous knowledge thereof is not assumed. Rather, the goal of the project is to practice programming with MATLAB in addition to learning basics of digital communication.
