Digital communications

Digital communications are taught alongside networks and electronics, with a focus on wireless networks (WiFi, WIMAX), broadcasting systems (DTT, satellite) and cellular phone systems (GSM, GPRS, UMTS). This course applies the concepts acquired in 1st year to the field of telecommunications. At the end of this course, students will be able to identify the basic functions performed in all modems used in telecommunications systems. This Digital Communications course covers the following points: digital modulations (PAM, PSK, QAM, FSK), receiver architecture in the case of AWGN channels. Understanding the theoretical aspect of digital communications is the added value of an engineer over a senior technician.
