Course Description

This unit covers the analysis of wireless-based electronic
systems to provide solutions to mobile communications
performance. It encompasses working safely, applying
extensive knowledge of mobile communications parameters,
gathering and analysing data, applying problem solving
techniques, developing and documenting results and solutions
for use in design work.

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:	UEENEEH083B Analyse the performance of wireless-based electronic systems
Element:	Prepare to analyse the performance of wireless-based systems Analyse the wirelessbased electronic systems performance Document and report on the results of the wireless-based electronic systems performance analysis and actions taken.
Performance Criteria:	1.1 OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are obtained and understood. 1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work. 1.3 The extent of the wireless-based electronic systems issues are determined from performance specifications and situation reports and in consultations with relevant persons 1.4 Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved in the work. 1.5 Effective strategies are formed to ensure solution development and implementation is carried out efficiently. 2.1 OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed. 2.2 Knowledge of wireless communications principles are applied to analytical solutions to electronic systems. 2.3 Parameters, specifications and performance requirements in relation to wireless-based electronic systems are obtained in accordance with established procedures. 2.4 Approaches to analysing wireless-based electronic systems parameters are carried out to provide the most effective solution. 2.5 Unplanned events are dealt with safely and effectively consistent with regulatory requirements and enterprise policy. 2.6 Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organizational or professional standards 3.1 Solutions to wireless-based electronic systems issues are evaluated to determine their effectiveness and modified where necessary. 3.2 Analysis is documented including details of all findings, calculations and assumptions. 3.3 Analysis is reported to appropriately personnel to establish appropriate action to be taken based on findings. 3.4 Justification for findings and any actions to be undertaken in relation to the equipment is documented for inclusion in work/project or development records in accordance with professional standards.

Learning Outcomes

Details of Learning Activities

• Classroom tutorial activities to consolidate the theory and application of various types of wireless networks, and advanced testing and measuring devices and techniques of wireless networks.
• Practical activities to develop skill in construction the working model of various types of wireless networks. Analyse the performance as specification.
Work performance simulation projects involving the analysing of selected systems, development of testing procedure to verify the performance specification in the systems. Specifications will be provided with work simulation (team or individual basis) or may be negotiated to suit a workplace based application

Overview of Assessment

This is a progressive assessment, the students are required to undertake summative assessments as follows:
• Written assignment related to wireless based electronic systems
• Practical demonstration in simulated workplace

Assessment Tasks

• Assignment and work performance simulations projects 90%
• Laboratory work 10 %
• A Pass in the Learning Unit when evidence of learning is collected according to the requirements as stated at “assessment criteria”. The documentation must be clearly communicated and submitted to supervisor within specified time.
The assessment is in conjunction with the course of ’Sensors & transducers’.
