ELCM 314 - Broadcast Radio Frequency Fundamentals

Broadcast RF Fundamentals provides an introduction to basic RF principles including spectrum use, signal mixing, amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Transmission line and antenna theory and practice are also explored as well as commercial radio and television broadcasting systems and standards. Radio wave propagation is studied with application to radio and television broadcasting. Lab provides introductory labs to reinforce RF systems theory in basic RF principles. Hands-on experience with RF instrumentation, RF building block circuits, antennas, transmission lines, FM transmitters and stereo generation is the focus of this course.
