Simulation of Communication Systems using Matlab

By Prof. Ribhu | IIT Guwahati

Learners enrolled: 3014 | Exam registration: 704

ABOUT THE COURSE:

This is course is meant to introduce students to the idea of modelling and simulation of communication systems exhibiting while highlighting the underlying stochastic behavior of these systems. The key objectives of this course are twofold:

1.To introduce the importance of Monte Carlo methods for analyzing the behavior of communication systems.

2. To encourage students to model and analyze stochastic systems around them.

By the end of this course, the students will be able to confidently program in MATLAB and develop programming models for simulating communication systems.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Undergraduate and postgraduate students of electronics and communication engineering

PREREQUISITES: Need to know basic probability theory and programming

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 02 November 2024 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Guwahati .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
