| | 5. | COURSE OBJECTIVES |
| | 1. Student teams implement amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, pulse modulation, sampling and quantization; |
| | they determine design parameters to achieve desired signal properties. (Criteria 3(a),(b),(c),(d),(e),(k)) |
| | 2. Student teams compare and assess the performance of analog demodulators in the presence of noise; they compare the |
| | theoretical performance to experimental performance. (Criteria 3(a),(b),(d),(e),(k)) |
| | 3. Students improve written communication skills through laboratory and project reports. (Criterion 3(g)) |
| | 4. Students use a commercially available software package (LabView) for computer aided analysis and design. (Criteria |
| | 3(c),(k)) |
