EE 497C Wireless Communications

Course Description

EE 497C Wireless Communications discusses analysis and design of the radio frequency (RF) building blocks which comprise a wireless communications system. This course builds on the electronic circuit design in EE 310 and the PSPICE usage for circuit analysis and the equipment used in CSE 275 and EE 310. It develops concepts current taught in EE 367 and EE 350 for analog and digital modulation. It provides a basis for subsequent courses such as EE 453 and EE 459. Topics in the wireless area relate to economic and manufacturability concepts as global competition determines second and third generation specifications.

For more details see the Course Syllabus. This course is delivered through the Penn State Course Management System, ANGEL. If you are unfamiliar with ANGEL, please see the link for New Students.
