Recommended Book(s)

Communication Systems Lab Manual By KING Instruments Electronics Co. Ltd.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Students develop a solid understanding for analysis of communication signals in time domain and frequency domain. Students learn to design and simulate many types of communication circuits, and then assemble, measure, and evaluate the circuits using laboratory instruments. Students develop competency in measurement science by utilizing modern advanced instruments, which are similar to instruments presently being used by engineers in industry.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)

CLO:1. Express working knowledge of the equipment needed to ensure data transfer among different communication systems  (Level: P1)

CLO:2. State knowledge of modulating techniques as well as measuring various attributes of signals using oscilloscope, and spectrum analyzer (Level: P1)

CLO:3. Develop & demonstrate a project/application by applying the concepts and techniques from theoretical knowledge and investigate different blocks in this project. (Level: C6)
