Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
In this course, we will explain the basics necessary to understand communication systems, and simple analogue communication systems. This course is paired with Communication Systems, which will be held in the second semester. Therefore, taking both this course and Communication Systems is recommended.
Style:
This course will focus on the basics of communication systems and the analogue modulation and demodulation systems, and the material will be explained using a textbook. Self-study is important, so be sure to work through the pre-study review.
Liaison: Masato Omukai
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
