Communication Engineering I, Winter Term 2025/26
This lecture is focussed on the analysis of modern communication systems. After starting with the basic description of signals and systems, analog and digital transmission of signals is described both in the baseband as well as in the passband. A mathematical description of modulation and examples for different systems are presented. This also includes a description of sources and channels.
- Basics on audio- and image communication
- Basics on system theory
- Sampling, quantisation, z-transformation, digital filters
- Random experiments, random variables, stochastic processes
- Noise
- Characteristics of transmission channels
- Analog and digital baseband transmission
- Analog and digital modulation

This lecture focuses on the analysis of communication systems. Building on the fundamentals of systems theory, it covers the analogue and digital transmission of signals, first in the original frequency range (in the baseband) and then in the carrier frequency range. Techniques of analogue and digital modulation are described mathematically and explored in greater depth using system examples. The system analysis also includes sources and transmission channels.
