A Primer On Digital & Wireless Communication: Intuitive and Hands-on MATLAB Project

This tutorial demonstrates how digital and wireless communication systems work using MATLAB. It begins with an overview of the general system architecture, then it illustrates the transmitter section, covering key processes such as modulation, pulse shaping, and upconversion. The signal is then saved as a sound file, transmitted wirelessly, and recorded again in MATLAB for receiver processing. Finally, it demonstrates the receiver-side operations, including downconversion, matched filtering, synchronization, and channel estimation.

The main goal is to provide an intuitive understanding of these systems using simple and primitive processing techniques. Although we do not explore complex algorithms, the fundamental principles remain the same across all communication systems. I hope this video inspires and interests you in the subject and encourages further study.
