Course description
The course introduces the various methods of communication which are analog modulation/demodulation method, coding method, and digital modulation/demodulation method.

For Japanese students, Assist. Prof. Kanamaru gives lectures in Japanese.
For IGP and short-term foreign students, Prof. Tanaka, Gyoda and Suga give lectures in English.
English class is different from Japanese class, and details will be explained in the first class.
Purpose of class
