EC1020 Communication Engineering Laboratory

Fifth Semester, 2016-17 (Odd Semester)

Course (catalog) description

This course provides the foundation education in communication engineering lab. The experiments
in this laboratory enable the students to gather basic knowledge on communication systems.
Different experiments are performed which forms the fundamental blocks of any communication
system used now a day. Experiments are performed using electronic instrument, such as
oscilloscopes, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers. Certain experiments
are simulated using MATLAB and P-SPICE simulation software.

Computer usage
To carry out AM and Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis experiments using discrete electronic
components, Software’s like MATLAB and PSPICE are used to simulate the circuit operations
Hardware Laboratory Usage
Each laboratory station is equipped with breadboards, a power supply, CRO and Function
generators. Students work in groups of three, but maintain individual laboratory notebooks and
submit individual records.

Class / Lab schedule : one lab session (2 periods) per week, for 10-14 weeks

 Mapping of Instructional Objectives with Program Outcome

This course provides the foundation education in communication Correlates to Student

systems. Through lecture, laboratory, and out-of-class assignments, Outcome
students are provided learning experiences that enable them to: H M L

1.To practice the basic theories of analog communication system. b,c,d,e i,j,k

2. To provide hands-on experience to the students, so that they are

b,c,d,e,f,i,k j
able to apply theoretical concepts in practice.

3.To use computer simulation tools such as P-SPICE, or MATLAB to

carry out design experiments as it is a key analysis tool of engineering b,c,d,e,f,i,j,k
design.

4.To give a specific design problem to the students, which after

completion they will verify using the simulation software or hardware b,c,d,i e,f,j,k
implementation
H: High correlation, M: Medium correlation, L: Low correlation
