Development of Undergraduate Communications Laboratory for Electrical Engineering Majors at University of Denver

本次通信实验室改造项目升级 实时仿真， 通信系统和网络。 实时端到端 模拟能力为学生提供硬件， 支持子系统级设计所需的软件工具 (e.g.,信道均衡数字滤波器）;另外， 系统性能评估（例如，误码率 测量）可以经由协议分析器来完成， 与工作站互动。 仿真 能力允许在基带和RF/IF上评估设计 频率. 完整的学生团队项目包括数据 生成（例如，源编码）、传输调制 选择/信道编码和解调。 学生获得 理论知识和实验室实践经验， 进入通信行业的技术工作队伍 作为系统工程师和/或网络分析师。

This Communications Laboratory improvement project upgrades current facilities by incorporating real-time simulation of communications systems and networks. The real-time end to end simulation capability provides students with the hardware and software tools necessary to support subsystem level design (e.g., channel equalization digital filters); additionally, system performance evaluation (e g., bit error rate measurement) may be accomplished via a protocol analyzer in conjunction with workstation interaction. The simulation capability allows evaluation of designs at baseband and RF/IF frequencies. Complete student team projects include data generation (e.g., source coding), transmission modulation selection/channel coding, and demodulation. Students gain the theoretical knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience to enter the technology work force in the communications industry as a systems engineer and/or a network analyst.
