2 Course Description
This is a foundation course on telecommunication and related technologies. It describes the es-sential elements of a modern communication system. Students will learn the basic concepts inelectrical communication, the operation principles and the performance requirements for a real-world communication system. The course is the basis of various advanced courses on electrical andoptical communication.
3 Topics to be Covered
An overview on communication systems; Fourier transform (a review); amplitude modulation; angleand frequency modulation; digital representation of analog signals; digital baseband transmission;digital bandpass transmission.

7 Academic Honesty
Students are strongly advised to read the Universitys guideline on academic honesty (http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/). The definition of plagiarism includes copying of thewhole or parts of written assignments, midterm examinations and final examinations. The ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong places very high importance on honesty in academic work submitted bystudents, and adopts a policy of zero tolerance on cheating in examinations and plagiarism. Anyrelated offence will lead to disciplinary action including termination of studies at the University.
