EE 160 Lab – Principles of Communication Systems Fall 2011 Page 1 of 4 San José State University Department of Electrical Engineering EE 160, Principles of Communication Systems Laboratory, Fall 2011 Instructor: Robert H. Morelos-Zaragoza Office Location: ENGR 373 Telephone: (408) 924-3879 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Wednesdays and Fridays 15:00 – 17:30 Class Days/Time: Th 12:00-14:45 Classroom: ENGR 238 Prerequisites: EE 112 Course Description Introduction to communication systems. Harmonics for analysis of amplifiers and amplitude modulators. Sampling and its applications to frequency shifting. Communication receiver architectures: Direct-conversion and heterodyne. Amplitude modulators and demodulators. Basic binary modulation techniques. Course Goals and Student Learning Objectives This laboratory is designed to provide the student with practical demonstrations of the fundamental principles of analog and digital communication systems. The laboratory starts with learning to use the spectrum analyzer. Simple electronic circuits are then used to demonstrate the sampling theorem, amplitude modulation (AM), binary modulation (OOK, ASK and FSK) and power measurements. Each experiment is allocated one or two lab periods (weeks). Students are required to read completely and understand the experiment’s description and material used, and to complete a set of pre-lab calculations. Some of the pre-lab and post-lab calculations require the use of the Matlab software, available in the lab computers. GE/SJSU Studies Learning Outcomes (LO), if applicable Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: LO1 Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, including its mathematical and scientific principles, analysis and design. LO2 Demonstrate the ability to apply the practice of Engineering in real-world problems.EE 160 Lab – Principles of Communication Systems Fall 2011 Page 2 of 4 Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: LO3 Analyze signals used in communication systems (a) LO4 Compare components and subsystems used in communication systems (c) LO5 Perform laboratory based operational and measurement criteria for analog and digital communication systems in both time and frequency domains (b) LO6 Critically assess the predicted and measured performance of wired and wireless communications systems (a,g) LO7 Demonstrate the process of spectral translation (downconversion and upconversion) via narrowband signal analysis and filtering. (a) LO8 Understand the complexity interplay in communication systems, in terms of circuit and component requirements (c) LO9 Interpret and report on computer-based performance predictions compared to measurements of analog and digital (binary) modulation techniques (b,k) LO10 Understand the impact of noise on communication system performance (a,e) Required Texts/Readings Textbook EE 160 laboratory notes. (These are available in the web page of the course.) Classroom Protocol Students are expected to participate actively. Students will turn their cell phones off or put them on vibrate mode while in the lab. They will not answer their phones in the lab. Dropping and Adding Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops, academic renewal, etc. Information on add/drops are available at http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/narr/soc-fall/rec-298.html. Information about late drop is available at http://www.sjsu.edu/sac/advising/latedrops/policy/ . Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for adding and dropping classes. Assignments and Grading Policy Based upon the course enrollment and the number of laboratory stations that are available and functioning, students will be divided into laboratory groups for the experiments. Each student is expected to actively participate in performing each one of the experiments. Students who have performed the experiment together may submit either individual reports or a single joint report. A student who does not work with the group must submit an individual report. Every student must complete every laboratoryEE 160 Lab – Principles of Communication Systems Fall 2011 Page 3 of 4 assignment in order to receive a grade in the course. Reports are due on the day of the subsequent experiment.

Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University and the University’s integrity policy, require you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The website for StudentEE 160 Lab – Principles of Communication Systems Fall 2011 Page 4 of 4 Conduct and Ethical Development is available at http://www.sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/index.html. Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism (presenting the work of another as your own, or the use of another person’s ideas without giving proper credit) will result in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include in your assignment any material you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSU’s Academic Policy F06-1 requires approval of instructors.
