Description
This course studies the general principles and characteristics of a variety of Radio Frequency (RF) Communications Systems. The coverage includes the analysis of digital and analog communications systems, subsystems, modulation techniques, and circuits. RF communication theory will be reinforced in lab with practical hands- on experience.
Prerequisites
“C” or higher in ETRO 106.
