E-mail: koyluogo@ece.osu.edu (You are more than welcome to email your questions.)
Office Hours : By appointment
Course Information:
Description: Laboratory in the areas of communication theory and signal processing.
Prereq. or concur.: ECE 501 Communication Theory
Prerequisites By Topic: Fourier series, Fourier transform, linear systems and signals, probability,
random variables.
Objectives:
Student teams implement amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, pulse
modulation, sampling and quantization; they determine design parameters to achieve
desired signal properties.
Student teams compare and assess the performance of analog demodulators in the
presence of noise; they compare the theoretical performance to experimental
performance.
Students improve written communication skills through laboratory and project
reports.
Students use a commercially available software package (LabVIEW) for computer
aided analysis and design.
Course Materials:
ECE508 Course Packet from UniPrint (formerly Cop-ez) & Handouts during lab
sessions.

Grading:
Lab Reports and class attendences (44%)
Midterm Project (21%)
Final Exam (35%)
Bonus Quiz: Each bonus quiz is worth 2 points (2% of the final points) and will be added to your
final cumulative points.
Course Policy:
Attendence is required for each lab in order to receive a grade from that lab session.
Lab reports are due at the beginning of the next lab session.
Any report received after the beginning of the lab will be considered late and subject to the late
penalties. No late material will be accepted unless prior arrangements (at least 24 hours in
advance) have been made.
Graded reports from the previous week will be returned at the beginning of the next laboratory
session, one week after you turned them in.
Any written material handed in to me must be your own, and must represent your understanding
of the material. Failure to comply with this rule will be considered as a violation of the University
and ECE Honor System rules and necessary action will be taken. However, discussion of the
course material is encouraged.
