Course Number: VEE240

Course Title: Signal Processing

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES 

General Objective

This course presents the more advanced methods of processing RF signals through communication systems. The student should be able to describe the various processing methods, identify the circuitry, correctly measure the various signals and fault find the circuits.

Specific Objectives

Students will be able to:

1. give general descriptions of analog pulse modulation, Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM).
2. describe Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), PCM circuit operation and troubleshoot PCM circuits.
3. describe Delta Modulation (DM), DM circuit operation and troubleshoot DM circuits.
4. describe Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), FSK circuit operation and troubleshoot FSK circuits.
5. describe Phase Shift Keying (PSK), PSK circuit operation and troubleshoot PSK circuits.
6. describe Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), TDM circuit operation and troubleshoot TDM circuits.
7. describe Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), FDM circuit operation and troubleshoot FDM circuits.
