Goals

1.To develop a student’s ability to understand the fundamentals of basic components and system construction to form a complete analog or digital communication system for both frequency and time division multiplexing.

2.To develop a student’s ability to understand the fundamentals of analysis, design, and comparison for different communication systems.

3.To give the student a working knowledge and background in at least four well known and established communications systems, namely the telephone, satellite, radar, and television systems.
