Moreover, improvements in DSP hardware willsoon provide for rapid development and implementation of current "software defined radio"concepts.The disadvantages of direct conversion receivers include hum, microphonics, poor dynamicrange, low output power levels, and unwanted detection of AM broadcast signals. Poor dynamicrange and low output power levels can be controlled by chip selection. NE602A or NE612devices with improved dynamic range now replace the standard NE602.

Any of these approaches may be successful if the instructor has aclear purpose for asking students to maintain portfolios and if this purpose is clearly articulatedto students.

These courses were taught in the Fall quarter of2021, and class sizes ranged from 30 to 165 students. There were 5 faculty members teachingthese courses, and each developed their own approach to implementing oral exams. This paperdescribes work that is part of a project studying the effectiveness of various oral exam methods[8], [9], [10], [11].

Sometimessetting up a laboratory for these experiments could be very expensive. Therefore, a lot of timeusing simulation tools is a good alternative to examine and visualize the realistic problems.However, the available simulation software may require vast technical proficiency, whichsometime impedes the inclination of students towards this area of study.In this paper we introduce a ray-tracing simulation tool that can be beneficial in teaching wavepropagation and wireless communication.
