RF Circuits and Systems - Basics of Communication Theory

📚 Course Title: RF Circuits and Systems - Basics of Communication Theory 🚀 Course Number: Course 2 För those eager to dive into the world of Radio Frequency (RF) circuits and systems, this course serves as a critical stepping stone in understanding the fundamental principles of communication theory. With an emphasis on modulation techniques that lay the groundwork for modern wireless communication, you'll gain insights into how information is transmitted over vast distances with clarity and efficiency.

Course Overview:

Welcome to the second installment in our seven-course series dedicated to RF Circuits and Systems. In this course, we will explore the foundational elements of communication theory, with a special focus on modulation schemes that are vital for reliable data transmission.

Key Topics Covered:

• Modulation Basics: Discover how information is encoded onto a carrier signal for transmission over the airwaves.
• Amplitude Modulation (AM): Learn about the simplest form of modulation where the amplitude of the carrier wave is varied in accordance with the baseband signal.
• Phase Modulation (PM) and Frequency Modulation (FM): Understand how these techniques allow for more robust transmission by varying the phase and frequency of the carrier, respectively.
• Digital Modulation Techniques: Dive into the digital era of communication, where symbols composed of multiple bits carry information over RF channels.
  • Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
  • Phase Shift Keying (PSK)
  • Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
  • Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM): A powerful method that combines both amplitude and phase modulation, significantly improving spectral efficiency.
• Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM): An advanced technique used in everything from WiFi to 4G/5G cellular networks, which allows for high data rates and robustness against frequency selective fading.
