First, a careful distinction is made between powersignal-to-noise ratio, S/N, and the energy signal-to-noise ratio, Eb/No commonly encountered forplots of bit error rate (BER). The theoretical plots are actually in terms of Eb/No, although thevalues of S/N and Eb/No are approximately equal for the signaling in this experiment. Secondly,the observation of eye diagrams with various levels of noise is done in this BER experimentrather than as a separate experiment. Another modification was to have the students observe thesignal that has a pulse at each sampling time (called

The Year 2 students were told that they were to modify thoseprojects to fix short-comings indicated in the assessments from Year 1. Relevant project reportswere handed over (with grades redacted), which gave the new student teams a place to start. Theywere also given the name of the team leader from the previous year(s) to use as areference/resource.In an effort to help mitigate students back-loading the work on the project to the end of thesemester, teams were required to hand in a weekly memo, which updated the instructor on theprogress on
