Communication circuits and radio frequency instruments, devices and
measurements.
Prereq: EEL 3304C; Coreq: EEL 4514
This is a laboratory section of the course EEL4514. The objective of this section is to complement the theoretical and simulation treatments in EEL4514. The laboratory exercises are constructed to let students apply the course material that they acquire in EEL4514 to simplified communication hardware designs. These exercises also provide hand-on training of effective use of communication measurement equipment, such function generators and spectrum analyzers.

In all email communication with TAs students must include course/section number and their name in the subject of the email. Example: "EEL4514L Section 1517, John Doe, question about Lab #2". All emails will be answered within 24 hours.
All lab meetings will be held in NEB 211.
All sections have one 3-hour lab session per week.
