The purpose of this activity is to introduce students to the concept of binary coding as a language and its practical applications in digital and communication systems. This project is intended to give students a deeper appreciation for communication systems and an understanding of how binary symbols are used to transmit information.

Communication Systems Projects with LabVIEW features ten project activities in digital communication systems based on the LabVIEW graphical dataflow programming platform. Each project includes introductory material in the form of text and narrated screencast videos, specifications for low-level subVI building blocks, and step-by-step instructions to assemble application VIs to implement a variety of simulations, visualizations, and working transmitters and receivers. This textbook organizes the projects into related topics, including: (1) Simulation and Visualization of Fundamental Concepts, (2) Channel Coding and Error Control, (3) FSK Demodulation (Caller ID), and (4) Bandpass Communications over the Speaker-Air-Microphone Channel.
6.776 covers circuit and system level design issues of high speed communication systems, with primary focus being placed on wireless and broadband data link applications. Specific circuit topics include transmission lines, high speed and low noise amplifiers, VCO's, and high speed digital circuits. Specific system topics include frequency synthesizers, clock and data recovery circuits, and GMSK transceivers. In addition to learning analysis skills for the above items, students will gain a significant amount of experience in simulating circuits in SPICE and systems in CppSim (a custom C++ simulator).
Communication Systems Projects with LabVIEW features ten projects that draw upon a library of over 40 subVIs constructed as part of the project activities. Each module in this manual completely describes the input/output requirements as well as the required behavior of a subVI. In addition, each module features a narrated screencast video of the LabVIEW program in action to demonstrate relevant coding techniques to successfully build and test the subVI. Use the Connexions "Table of Contents" viewer to quickly browse for subVIs of interest. Download the manual as a single PDF document (see "Content Actions") as a convenient way to access all modules in a single file; the PDF includes an index.
