Digital communication has proliferated in a big way in the previous years. Digital communication is the physical transfer of data over Point-To-Point or Point-To-Multipoint communication channel. It is transfer of discrete messages. Digital communication plays a vital role in today’s electronic world. In digital communication the data transfer rate depends upon it’s characteristics. Communications technology that intimidated many of us just a few years ago is now a part of everyday life. The conventional methods of communication used analog signals for long distance communications, which suffer from many losses such as distortion, interference, and other losses including security breach.

In order to overcome these problems, the signals are digitized using different techniques. The digitized signals allow the communication to be more clear and accurate without losses. Digital communication is the process of devices communicating information digitally. This course will help students to get a good idea on how the signals are digitized and why digitization is needed. By the completion of this course, the student will be able to understand the conceptual details involved in digital communication.

In this course, students will be able to learn some essential things about Digital Communications like components, Information Theory, Channel Coding, Entropies, Modulation Techniques, Spread Spectrum Communication.
