This paper describes the use of Matlab and Simulink inteaching communication theory for undergraduate students. The objective of this approach is toprovide an intuitive understanding of the theory without deeply sinking into derivations offormulae. Signal filtering is an inevitable step in every communication system. Generally, filtertheory is a standalone course offered to graduate level students. Using amplitude modulation as acase study, usage of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is discussed in this paper. Frequency
