TLET 2214 Electromagnetic Radiation and Reception and Lab

4 Credit Hour(s)

This course covers communication systems using electromagnetic radiation in broadcast and point-to-point terminals. The ability of the system to transfer information from one point to another is studied in the presence of noise, which adversely affects the transmission and reception of radio frequency signals. Amplitude modulation (AM), single sideband (SSB), and frequency modulation (FM) are studied and comparisons are made as to the advantages and disadvantages of each system. The student writes computer programs that relate to topics covered in both the classroom and in the laboratory. The student also constructs and tests a complete AM transmitter and receiver system, using integrated circuits. Television systems are discussed and analyzed.
