Module Aims

To provide the student with an understanding of modelling and analysis techniques for random and deterministic signals. To provide the student with an understanding of basic probability and random processes. To introduce students to analogue and digital modulation schemes.

Learning Outcomes

Students should understand: 7 basic deterministic models for signals, 7 the application of probability theory to random signals, 7 the choice of appropriate signal models to analyse real engineering systems, 7 basic probability, 7 the concepts of random variables and random processes, 7 basic modulation schemes and some of their variants,how deterministic signals are processed by above schemes.
