ELECTRONICS COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY

 

Picture

Students will be able to apply basic radio fundamentals necessary to understand transmitters and receivers used in modern AM and FM communications systems.

This program covers, circuit analysis of several complete FM systems. Included is a wideband microwave multiplex system and several mobile communications systems.

Students acquire information required by the Electronics Technician to aid in passing the F.C.C. general radiotelephone license examination. The F.C.C. rules, regulations, and theory areas are explained and sample F.C.C.-type tests are taken. Marine and aeronautical rules and regulations are also studied and are necessary for passing the general radiotelephone examination. Students may come day and/or evening. Additional hours taking general studies courses will lead to the Associate in Science degree.

Upon successful completion of the program the students will be proficient in the operation of AM/FM Transmitters and troubleshoot AM/FM Receivers. Students will be able to install C Band, K/U Band, DSS satellites systems. Students will have an understanding of cordless phones, microwave receivers/transmitters, and cell phones systems. 

Certifications will be awarded as students advance within the Electronics Communications program. Visit the Electronics & Computer Department Technology web site.
