Course Description

The aim of this course is to help students acquire an understanding of the fundamental principles of communication systems. It also enhances the development of student’s skill in carrying out experiments on communication systems. Specifically, we will acquire necessary skills and knowledge on DP4E.

Course Objectives

The goals of this course are to:
- be able to understand and explain the features of microwave communication.
- be able to understand and explain the features of common multiple accesses.
- be able to understand and explain common modulation techniques.
- be able to understand and explain microwave relay systems.
- be able to understand and explain RADAR systems.

Grading Policy

Your overall grade in the class will be decided based on the following:
- Mid-term examination: 40%
- Term-end examination: 40%
- A fraction of in-class contribution: 20%
