Description:

Design and testing of analog communications circuits, such as:

  • Amplitude modulation (AM) using discrete multiplier circuits and fully integrated implementations.
  • Frequency Modulation (FM) based on discrete and integrated modulator circuits such as voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs).
  • Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) techniques, characterization of key parameters and their applications in demodulation.

Lectures on theory and design. Labs consist of the systematic building and characterization of AM, FM, and PLL circuits and a complete RF TX/RX system.
