Course Description
This course contains some of the underpinning knowledge of a program, which designed for a person to be able to undertake design, select, install, commission, maintain and carry out repairs on advanced electronic equipment and systems.
The Knowledge and skills addressed in this course include DSP Concepts of sampling, aliasing, reconstruction and quantisation; time domain processing- correlation, convolution and modulation; spectral analysis; filtering; and carrying out a Work Performance Project.

Overview of Assessment
This is a progressive assessment, the underpinning knowledge will be assessed on the completion of each course, but the competency itself will not be signed off until related competency is completed and the student is deemed competent
The students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Progressive Written assessments
• Assignments
• Work Simulation Projects
Assessment Tasks
Evidence of competent performance shall be gathered from
Work performance simulations
Laboratory activities related to circuit & programming construction, testing, diagnosis and
Fault rectification.
Assessment activities shall be as close as practicable to real work situations and include real work decisions by the learner.
Each assessment task specifically relates to demonstration of knowledge, skills and/or attitudes relevant to an element of competence. To achieve a Grade of ‘Competent’, you must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills required in each assessment task of the course to the level required by industry.
In general, the assessment of your level of competence is made through continuing evaluation of your level of work and your progression in the development of skills. The style of assessments will provide you with:
o Opportunities to demonstrate application of the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills not just recall information.
o Information on your progress through the course with emphasis on encouraging you to monitor your own progress and plan your program of study.
o An open system where standards are specified and the required level of competence is known beforehand.
