Course Overview
In the Analog Communication course by Swayam, candidates will learn about the two building blocks of communication - Signals and Systems. They will understand how information is generated, how it can be transmitted to a distant user, and how the user interprets it. The information that needs to be transmitted and delivered to the user is known as a Signal.
Candidates will learn about different channels or media for transmission of signals. They will learn about the inherent imperfections of these media and how to combat and overcome them to facilitate effective communication. Also, they will learn about Noise, which is an unwanted, random signal that hinders communication.
Candidates participating in the Analog Communication programme will learn how to design systems that can filter out the noise and deliver effective communication. This is an undergraduate level programme created by IIT Kharagpur, and focuses on the engineering aspects of analog communication.

Eligibility Criteria
To benefit from the Analog Communication online course, candidates should be familiar with signals and systems.
If candidates wish to get certified, they must pay the examination fee and appear for a proctored exam. Throughout the course, candidates will be given 12 assignments. 25 percent of the average score of their eight best assignments will be considered together with 75 percent of their score in the proctored exam.
Note that the average assignment score should be 10/25 or more, and the exam score should be 30/75 or more. Even if the candidate’s total score is 40/100, they will not qualify for certification if any one of these conditions is not met.
What you will learn
After completing the Analog Communication online course, candidates should have a working knowledge of:
- Fourier Series and Fourier Transform
- Energy and Power Spectral Densities
- Amplitude Modulation
- Modulation Theory
- Sampling Theorem
- Angle Modulation
- Pulse Modulation
- Random Process
- Band-Pass Noise
Who it is for
The Analog Communication certification course is ideal for students pursuing Electronics and Communication Engineering or Electrical Engineering.

Evaluation process
Candidates can apply to the Analog Communication course by Swayam and learn for free. However, if they wish to get certified, they must pay an examination fee (Rs. 1,000) and appear for a proctored exam at any of the designated exam centres.
Throughout the course, candidates will have to complete a total of 12 assignments. Out of these, the best eight will count towards their final score. To calculate their final score, 25 percent of the average score from these eight assignments will be added to 75 percent of their score in the 100-mark proctored exam.
The candidate’s average assignment score should be 10/25 or more, and their exam score should be 30/75 or more. Even if their total is above 40/100, they will be ineligible for certification if they don’t satisfy any one of these conditions.
