MATLAMAT (GOALS) :

This course introduces students to communication system principles, transmission media and modulation technique.

SINOPSIS (SYNOPSIS):

This course emphasize on the competency to explore and demonstrate the elements of communication system principles,
transmission media and modulation technique. Both modulation techniques, analogue and digital will be introduced in theory and
practical approach. The transmission media covers guided media and unguided media commonly used for communication
technology. Several application used in communication technology will be introduced and experiment for transporting data and
voice information.

HASIL PEMBELAJARAN (LEARNING OUTCOMES):

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Distinguish digital, analogue modulation and transmission techniques. (C4, PLO1)
2. Construct transmission of data, voice, noise effect and media technique in communication system. (P4, PLO2)
3. Assist in team subordinate discipline and counselling of non performing subordinate according to management requirement.
