Course Requirements
Attendance
Attendance is mandatory. Lecture periods will be utilized to present principles and theory of the
course topics. Class participation and discussion is expected in these sessions. Homework will be
assigned to assess understanding and reinforce the materials covered in lecture. Laboratory
experiments will be conducted to provide hands-on applications of the theory as well as
experience in the use of standard test equipment and computer application software. Homework
is due at the beginning of the class period. There may be random quizzes administered during the
semester. Late homework will not be accepted without advanced instructor authorization.
Required text
1. Principles of Electronic Communication Systems, Louis E. Frenzel, McGraw Hill, 3rd
edition, ISBN 978-0-07-310704-2, 2008.
2. Experiments Manual for Principles of Electronic Communication Systems, Louis E. Frenzel,
McGraw Hill, 3rd edition, ISBN 978-0-07-310705-9, 2008.
Exams
There will be two exams (this includes the final exam), each worth 100 points. Exams will be
based on text readings, handouts, class exercises, and class lectures and discussions. Students
are responsible for all text material, regardless of whether we review the text material in class or
not.
Missed Exams
You will be allowed to make up a missed exam only if you have a documented university
excused absence. If you know in advance that you will miss an exam, you MUST contact me
before the scheduled exam. Make-up exams will not contain the same questions.
