Digital transmission and optical systems
D B Keogh, L N Binh
4 points * 24 lectures, 9 tutorials, 9 laboratory hours * First semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: ECS3341 (Information transmission)
Digital transmission: line codes, modulated digital data transmission systems (DSB-SC, SSB, VSB and QAM), spectra, detection and error rate performance. Optical systems: single-mode optical transmission along a fibre, electro-luminescent sources (LED and laser diodes), photodetectors (PIN and APD), coupling, receiver design, homodyne and heterodyne (coherent) optical systems.
Assessment
Examinations (3 hours) * Practical work/Laboratory work
