The recorded lectures are available here. You can also find lectures from previous years at the same link. The NPTEL online course Analog Circuits also covers a portion of the material.

Assignments will be posted on moodle. You are expected to solve them on your own. You should submit each one by 1155pm of the due date mentioned. Copying will carry strict penalties.

Digital communication over wired links; Mesochronous and Plesiochronous links; Clock and data recovery circuits for these links; Phase detectors for periodic signals and random data; Phase-locked loop and delay locked loop; Analog and digital implementations of CDRs and PLLs; Channel characteristics-intersymbol interference, eye diagrams; Linear equalization at the transmitter and receiver; Decision feedback equalization; Equalizer adaptation using the LMS algorithm.

To understand and carry out simulations of CDR and PLL circuits, channel models, and equalizers; To be able to determine the parameters of these systems starting from specifications.
