Dr. Chandler is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE). He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1985 and is a registered Professional Engineer in Wisconsin. He previously was a Member of Technical Staff at L-3 Communications and currently performs systems engineering consulting in the area of communications for DISA (U.S. DoD). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, and teaches courses in circuits, signals, and communications.
Analog and Digital Communications Laboratory Experiments Using Emona TIMSAbstractIn 2007 our electrical engineering program adopted a required principles of communicationscourse with a weekly two-hour laboratory. Laboratory experiments were developed using theEmona TIMS communications modules, covering analog and digital communications conceptssuch as double sideband – suppressed carrier (DSB-SC); amplitude modulation (AM); frequencymodulation (FM); sampling, quantization, and pulse-code modulation (PCM); amplitude,frequency, and phase shift keying (ASK, FSK, PSK); and bit error rate for a baseband digitalsignal in the presence of noise. Another experiment currently in preparation involves directsequence spread spectrum (DSSS) and code-division multiple access (CDMA). This paperpresents an overview of the experiments that have been developed, including some features ofthe experiments that are not in the TIMS manuals. The paper also discusses how theseexperiments have helped the students visualize communication-system concepts.
