ACADEMIC HONESTY

The work in all the tests, quizzes and exams is to be yours alone. Failure to abide by this rule or the omission of any other deliberately dishonest act, may result in failure of the course with no late drop permitted.  Students are encouraged to discuss homework and work together as is helpful. However, the written solutions is to be an individual effort.  Laboratory experiments, however, will be group efforts.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Noise in communication systems, types of modulation, transmission codes, interfaces, telephone networks and modems.
