ADVANCED COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Catalog description

Introduction to circuits and systems employed for communication systems; methods for their analysis, design, experimental measurement, and characterization. Discussion of AM, FM and Single Side Band in oscillator circuits, tuning circuits, detectors, radio frequency amplifiers, transmission lines, and antennas. Student will learn how to use and manipulate Spectrum Analyzers observing carriers in modulated signals and analyze very high frequency (VHF) transceivers of analog, digital and satellite communication. The course will be conducted through demonstra tions, lecture and interpretation of schematics, case analysis, laboratory practice and responsible use of technology to develop scientific and quantitative reasoning.
