Readings/Bibliography

Leonardo Calandrino, Marco Chiani: Lezioni di Comunicazioni Elettriche, Pitagora Editrice, Bologna, 2004

Teaching methods

Traditional lessons - Laboratory experiences using oscilloscopes, signal generators and spectrum analyzers.

Assessment methods

Oral discussion (30 minutes in average), preceeded by written questions (2 hours). To be admitted to the oral discussion a minimun grade of 18/30 must be achieved in the written test. After the oral discussion the final grade is decided, with a maximum increase of 5 with respect to the grade of the written test.

Teaching tools

Personal computer, hardware laboratory equipped with function generators, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzer.
