Explore baseband signals as unmodulated messages and how modulation shifts their spectrum to passband carriers to avoid interference. See GSM uplink and downlink examples and learn about frequency division multiplexing.
Learn to download and install Octave on Windows 64-bit, then access and copy the code from the video page, create a new file, save, and run to view results.
Explore ASK demodulation for a modulated ASCII signal, via a synchronous-esque demodulator with rectifier, low-pass filtering, and a comparator, and a multiplier-based method with cosine squared and LPF.
Explain PSK demodulation with a Costas loop to recover the carrier and extract digital data by multiplying with a locally generated carrier, low-pass filtering, and phase synchronization.
Explore the serial-to-parallel converter block, showing how four serial bits become four parallel I and Q outputs after four cycles using flip-flops, with real-time timing, sampling, and delay considerations.
Demonstrate software simulation of Kupinski modulation in octave by loading and running a sample script to visualize the beta stream, input bits, cos and sine multiplications, and the Kupinski waveform.

Introduction to Modulation in Communication Systems RAHRF152 is an intro course of Rahsoft Radio Frequency Certificate and it is counted toward the certificate. In this course we have concentrated to simplify the Digital and Analog Modulation topics in a way which students would understand the practicality by providing examples and simulations using GNU Octave open source software. This is a great course to understand the fundamental definitions needed in digital and analog modulation in communication system.
