The course Modulated Signals and the Bandpass Signaling is closely related to the courses Signals and Systems, Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Theory and Digital Signals and Systems. It is appointed for students and professionals in electrical engineering, measurement, control, informatics and communications. Student will master the mathematical description and representation of bandpass waveforms and systems, will be acquainted with the basic bandpass signaling techniques. These are applicable to both the analog and digital communication systems. Amplitude analog modulation and the angle analog modulation schema are presented (AM, DSB-SC, SSB-SC, PBSK, PM, FM and NBFM signals). Digital modulations of bandpass signals are presented too (OOK, ASK, PSK, FSK, QAM, APSK).
The knowledge of mathematics in the extent of the obligatory mathematical course at VŠB TU Ostrava, FEI, is the preliminary for the study of the course. Basics of physics and electrical engineering are useful. The command of the preliminary classes Signals and Systems, Fundamentals of Signals and Systems Theory and Digital Signals and Systems is assumed.
The course Modulated Signals and the Bandpass Signaling deals with a rather large thema in an one-semester course. The physical meaning of the mathematical representation of the signals and systems is always discussed. For the mathematical development of some formulas describing the communication process from the statistical viewpoint is student referred to the literature.
