We will develop the idea of data transmission by first considering simple channels. In additional modules, we will consider more practical channels; baseband channels with bandwidth constraints and passband channels.

Simple additive white Gaussian channels X t carries data, N t is a white Gaussian random process.

The concept of using different types of modulation for transmission of data is introduced in the module Signalling. The problem of demodulation and detection of signals is discussed in Demodulation and Detection.
