EET 305 - Communication Electronics

Institution:

Point Park University

Subject:

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Description:

Analysis and design of communication circuits including tuned matching networks, small-signal amplifiers, large-signal amplifiers and oscillators, mixers, modulators, and demodulators. Introduction to Fourier transform analysis. Theory of amplitude, frequency, and phase modulation. Transmitter and receiver topologies. Effects of noise in communication systems. Prerequisites: EET 201 (Electronic Circuits), MATH 210 (Calculus II) Course Objectives (1) Represent periodic functions using Fourier series (2) Design tuned matching networks for proper bandwidth and impedance transformation (3) Design small-signal amplifiers using Y parameter techniques and recognize the limitations of this approach (4) Design large-signal amplifiers and oscillators using a simple large-signal model for the bipolar junction transistor (5) Calculate the Fourier transform of a signal and interpret the result (6) Analyze mixers, modulators, and demodulators using Fourier and time-domain techniques (7) Identify the characteristics and relative merits of different transmitter and receiver topologies (8) Characterize the effects of noise in communication systems using an elementary noise model (9) Perform accurate radio frequency measurements of components and circuits using the equipment available in a modern radio laboratory (10) Consider non-ideal effects in radio-frequency components and circuits during the design process (11) Keep an accurate and complete laboratory notebook according to accepted industry practices
