Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the students will be able to:

1. Associate and apply the concepts of Bandpass sampling to well speci-fied signals and channels.
2. Analyze and compute performance parameters and transfer rates for low pass and bandpass symbol under ideal and corrupted non bandlimited channels.
3. Test and validate symbol processing and performance parameters at the receiver under ideal and corrupted bandlimited channels.
4. Demonstrate that bandpass signals subjected to corruption and dis-tortion in a bandlimited channel can be processed at the receiver to meet specified performance criteria.
5. Understand the principles of spread spectrum communications.

Question paper pattern:

  • Examination will be conducted for 100 marks with question paper containing 10 full questions, each of 20 marks.
  • Each full question can have a maximum of 4 sub questions.
  • There will be 2 full questions from each module covering all the topics of the module.
  • Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
  • The total marks will be proportionally reduced to 60 marks as SEE marks is 60.
