ANALOGUE COMMUNICATIONSEE020-3.5-2-ALCMInstructions:

All the labs assigned are to be carried out individually.Learning Outcomes

ON COMPLETION OF THIS LAB ASSIGNMENT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE FOLLOWING LEARNING OUTCOMES:Design and build the various blocks of analogue communication system. (PO1,PO2,PO3,PO4,PO5,PO6,PO1O)

Objectives:The objective of this lab assignment is to expose the students to perform lab experiments in lab and perform simulations using MATLAB and Simulink. In this lab assignment you are to perform 4 lab experiments. The complete information on these experiments is given in the Digital Communications Lab Manual. You may download the manual from the webspace or collect from me personally. There are five experiments in the lab manual. However, the first lab experiment is the familiarization with MATLAB and Simulink. The experiment 2, 3 and 4 are MATLAB based whereas the experiment 5 is Simulink based. Upon completing each experiment, you are required to answer questions given at the end of each experiment. Complete all the four lab experiments. Submit your lab report separately after two weeks of the experiment conducted. In each of the lab report, you should: 1. Exhibit a professional behavior while performing the lab work and compiling the lab report. 2. Demonstrate the report writing skill by producing an appropriate level of report format.3. Demonstrate the relevant theoretical/analytical knowledge. 4. Perform the experiments by running the MATLAB scripts and designing the simulink models.

5. Observe and capture the plots/results and present them in a suitable format.

6. Analyse/Discuss the plots/results.

7. Conclude your findings.

8. Solve/Analyse post-lab questions given at the end of each experiment.

Appendix BInstructions to Students about Discussion, Conclusion and Reference

Discussion

In the Discussion section you should give an overall appraisal of the results of your work. It is here that you will have the best opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the work and to give a critical account of what has been achieved.

Conclusion

The Conclusion is a short summary of the results of your work (about 200 words). The Conclusion should follow naturally from the Discussion. It should give a concise statement of what has been achieved. Anticipated application of techniques developed should be summarized very briefly. The Conclusion should be self-contained, i.e., it should not make reference to any sections, figures, or references in the report.

References

All references to books, papers, and other publications must be fully and correctly quoted to be useful to the reader.
