Dear students

I extend a hearty welcome to you all and wish you a very enjoyable learning experience in the course Principles of Communication Systems - Part I, which we will refer to as POC-I in all future communication. At the outset, I can promise you that we have an exciting set of lectures covering several aspects of a communication system focusing particularly on the basic building blocks of an analog/digital communication system and an introduction to probability, random variables/processes in order to analyze the performance of various communication systems.
