ELCM 252 - Digital Transmission Techniques

Digital Transmission Techniques will introduce the exchange of digital information between two directly connected devices and a variety of transmission systems used to interconnect nodes in large telecommunications networks. Topics covered include Pulse Code Modulation, multiplexing, framing, signal regeneration and the North American and European digital hierarchies. Impairments associated with digital transmission over copper and fiber are covered in depth. This course also covers transmission levels, signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate, communication codes, asynchronous/synchronous protocols, serial/parallel interfaces, and error detection and correction techniques, circuit and packet switching, buffering, congestion, MODEMS, CODECS, and VOCODERS.
