An intensive study of digital electronic communication and networking. The topics include digital modulation, transmission media characteristics, interface standards, network configurations, and testing equipment.
Data communications covers the fast moving dynamic field of electronic communications.
This course is designed to extend and integrate the student's knowledge of computer electronics gained in courses, EET 345 and EET 445 . This area of study involves the sending and receiving of information in digital format over distances ranging from a few inches to thousands of miles. Students will study the concepts and theory of communications, along with the application of theory to real-world situations. The laboratory component of the course will culminate in a project involving the design, analysis, and testing of a digital communication format in a practical manner. B.
