![Screenshot Screenshot](local/data/caches/images/scaled/img_00026483_300x300.png)
Description:
These course materials, made available by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), provide an overview of electronics communications. Topics covered include: Serial Digital Interface, Bluetooth, Transmission Line Measurements, Short Range Wireless Experimentation, and more.
Contents:
The course materials include an 8-page Electronics Communications: Course Materials PDF, three laboratory style activities that feature instructor and student copies of the instructions, two PowerPoint presentations that cover Bluetooth and Serial Digital Interfaces as well as an Xbee LabView module.
The 8-page Electronics Communications Course Materials PDF contains a detailed description of the course and includes the following topics: Traditional View, New Systems View, Electronic Communications Instructional Materials List, Student Learning Outcomes, and Detailed Course Outline.
The purpose of the Transmission Line Measurements Activity is to 'Familiarize students with common measurements on coaxial transmission lines.'
The purpose of the Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Familiarization Study is to 'familiarize students with the architecture and operation of a software-defined radio.'
The purpose of the Short-Range Wireless Experimentation Lab is to 'provide practical working experience with common short-range wireless equipment. The experiment provides activities to analyze the organization and operation of a common UHF transceiver, range calculation and measurement, and antenna radiation patterns.'
The purpose of the Xbee LabView module is to 'introduce the instructor to Digi Internationals XBee wireless modules; and to provide the instructor with several working examples of data being transmitted and received using these modules.'
For orientation purposes, readers should begin with Electronics Communications.pdf, which provides a detailed description of the course and the course materials.
