In general, there are details about low level protocols and standards including the related technologies in the data communication fields. So, it covers all the standard topics found in a typical introductory course in data communication such as transmission media, analog and digital signals, data transmissions, multiplexing. This course is designed to help the student understand: concepts of data communications, the differences, advantage, and disadvantages of different transmission media, analog and digital signals, modulation and demodulation techniques, and the need for error detection and correction.
