ETEC 2300 Electronic Communications I

3 Credit Hour(s)

The student gains skills in circuit recognition, schematic reading, theory and troubleshooting of solid-state and vacuum tube receivers and transmitters, R.F. oscillators, harmonic generators, R.F. power amplifiers, modulator and audio circuits. The student interprets voltage and resistance measurements to effect repairs. Usage of signal generators, oscilloscopes and frequency counters to analyze circuit failures is emphasized. The student gains the awareness of the usage of transmission lines and their application in communications. Emphasis is placed on the parameters associated with standing waves and the characteristic impedance of a transmission line and antennas.
