ELEC 282 - Electronic Communication

3 credits

This course covers the basics for and understanding of communications systems and circuits. Circuit components include filters, amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, phase locked loops and analog/digital converters. Various analog and digital modulation and multiplexing techniques are presented with emphasis on current technologies. System comparisons using information capacity relations , signal quality, as well as modulation and multiplexing methods are studied using time and frequency domain concepts. Wired and wireless data networks are studied (including LAN and WAN networks using the OSI model functionality) and explored using current networking devices.

Prerequisites: ELEC 128 Electrical Circuits.
