CODE 114623 ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 CREDITS 9 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA INFORMATICA 8719 (L-8) - IMPERIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/03 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION IMPERIA SEMESTER Annual MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: FUNDAMENTALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES This course aims to provide students with the essential principles and basic concepts of telecommunications techniques and signal processing. Students will acquire skills related to: representation and processing of information, analysis of signals in time and frequency, linear and time-invariant systems, sampling, analog-to-digital conversion (PCM), baseband digital transmission using unlimited bandwidth PAM, probability and random processes, modulations and their performance (bandwidth, power, fidelity), and the effects of noise. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES After the module, the student shall know basic notions about the modeling and processing of deterministic and stochastic signals in the time and frequency domains, about analog-to-digital conversion, about analog passband and digital baseband communication, and about frequency- and time-division multiplexing. TEACHING METHODS Class lectures SYLLABUS/CONTENT Signals and spectra, Fourier transforms, and Fourier series Linear time-invariant systems, convolution operators, and filters Sampling, quantization, and pulse code modulation (PCM) Wideband pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) Time-division and frequency-division multiplexing (TDM and FDM) Probability theory Random variables Stochastic processes Analog modulations RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Slides available on AulaWeb A.
