ENGD3105 Design and Analysis of Image Communication System

Aim: In this assignment, you will use MATLAB (R2020b release or later) to design, implement, and test a communication system consisting of a channel coder, modulator, demodulator, and channel decoder. What to submit: Your coursework must be submitted as a report in Word format to Turnitin. Your MATLAB codes must be provided as text (not pictures) and included as appendices at the end of the report. All code lines must be commented to explain them. Your answers must be supported by references as appropriateAll references must be in IEEE format. Please note that 5 marks will be allocated to the presentation and organisation of your report. 1) Design and implement in MATLAB a communication system that uses digital modulation and channel coding with an LDPC code to transmit digital images over a deep space communication link. You must clearly describe all the components of your system and motivate your design. [20 marks: Design: 5 marks, motivation: 5 marks, implementation: 10 marks] 2) Test your system by using it to simulate the transmission of the provided Mars.png image. Discuss the results. [15 marks: Design of the tests: 5 marks, experimental results: 5 marks, discussion: 5 marks] 3) In 2021, NASA landed the Perseverance rover on Mars as part of the Mars Exploration Program. The mission of Perseverance is to seek signs of life and collect rocks and soil samples. Describe and comment on the channel coding techniques used by Perseverance for data transmission. Maximum length: 1000 words.
