How Those Telecommunication Systems Work: A Hands-On Experience for Pre-College and Freshman Students

该项目改善了科学和工程专业学生的招聘和留用情况。本实验室的目标是开发一个电信电子领域的入门实践课程，以便学生在早期阶段接触该技术。本实验室的实验分为两组。第一节的目的是通过简单的实验来介绍实验室设备。它包括电阻的测量、颜色编码、公差和周期信号的特性。学生进行统计分析来分析数据。为此目的引入了商业软件。因此，学生们开发所需的技能进行下一组实验。第二组实验介绍了辐射，频域，时域，调制，解调，模拟和数字信号的基本概念。学生使用PSpice和HP高级设计系统（ADS）来模拟他们的电路和系统。实验室报告包括对结果的分析。

This project improves recruitment and retention of students in science and engineering. The objective is to develop an introductory hands-on course in the area of telecommunication electronics so that the students are exposed to the technology at an early stage.Experiments of this laboratory are divided into two groups. The goal of its first section is to introduce the laboratory equipment through simple experiments. It includes the measurement of resistance, the color-coding, tolerances, and characteristics of the periodic signals. Students perform statistical analysis to analyze the data. Commercial software is introduced for this purpose. Thus, the students develop skills needed to perform experiments of the next set. The second set of experiments introduces fundamental concepts of radiation, frequency domain, time domain, modulation, demodulation, analog, and digital signals. Students use PSpice and HP Advanced Design System (ADS) to simulate their circuits and systems. The laboratory reports include an analysis of the results.
