equivalent circuit of analog modulation techniques.2. Understanding of how to calculate the performance characteristics (spectrum

and power efficiency) of the analog modulation techniques.3. Understanding of the Super-heterodyne transceivers (TRX).4. Understanding of the construction, connections, principle of operation and

equivalent circuit of pulse modulation techniques.5. Ability of how to calculate the performance characteristics (channel

bandwidth) of the multiplexed signal (FDM and TDM) 6. Understanding of Pulse code modulation fundamentals such as quantization

and coding7. Understanding of the Construction, principle of operation and frequency

division multiplexing.8. Ability of calculating the bit rate.9. Ability to determine and analyze the signal to quantization noise ratio.

10. Obtaining the knowledge of how to calculate the maximum # of multiplexed message signals for a given channel BW.
