generation and reception of double-side band, single side-band, vestigial side-band, angle
modulation signals.

CNE 352 Digital Communications
Credits: 3 (3, 1, 0) Prerequisite: CNE 351

This course covers the fundamental principles underlying the analysis and design of digital
communication systems. We introduce the fundamental probability concepts that are used
during the course. We discuss the processes of sampling, quantization, and digital pulse
modulation including pulse code modulation, pulse differential modulation, and delta
modulation We also cover the digital base-band transmission by focusing on the effects of
channel noise and band-limited channel bandwidth on the performance of a system. In
addition, we deal with the data detection problem of digital signals through the concept of
matched and correlation filters.

channel modeling; digital modulation in wireless channels; diversity techniques; multiple access
techniques; multicarrier transmission, multiple antenna systems, the cellular concept;

CNE 443 Microwave Communication
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Senior Level Standing
The course focuses on the analysis and design of high frequency electronic circuits, with
emphasis on RF and microwave circuits and components for the communication systems.
Waveguides, planar transmission lines and cavity resonators are presented with the relevant
design techniques, and with different modes. The basic principles of radio frequency and
microwave circuits design as applied to the design of directional couplers, and power dividers
are covered. The course provides also a description of microwave networks using different
methods such as S-matrix, Y and Z matrices and ABCD matrix.

CNE 454 Satellite Communication
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisite: Senior Level Standing

This course is designed to provide students with global view of satellite systems, its missions,
launch systems, frequency allocation and orbits specification, the link budget calculation for
both the uplink, and the downlink, the communication system of the satellite and earth
stations, satellite access, and satellite services. Satellite cross links, VSAT and mobile satellite
