Courseware and curriculum development for a wireless electronics class

Abstract

The design of basic wireless building blocks (such as oscillators, amplifiers, and modulation circuits) and modern encoding techniques such as CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) are in high demand by employers of recent graduates. This thesis sets forth a lesson plan and laboratory kit design to be used in the development of a new class that teaches these wireless system design techniques. Such a class will help students gain both the theoretical and practical experience required of them in today's industry.
