Learning Outcomes
Details of Learning Activities
- Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the theory and application of various types of RF amplifiers, transmission line, microwave propagation, antenna and commissioning & redesign of communication systems.
- Practical activities to develop skill in construction the working model of various types of RF amplifiers, transmission line & antenna systems. Conduct complex testing process, diagnose & rectify fault and verify the performance as specification.
- Industrial visit to look at the actual radio and related equipments from the industry. (It will depend on the arrangement with the radio company. If it can be arranged, the teaching schedule will vary.)
-
Work performance simulation projects involving the re-design and commissioning of selected systems, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification, diagnosis of faults in the systems and repair the fault. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application
Teaching Schedule
Refer to the common teaching schedule from the course guide of EEET6765C in the same cluster.
