Each one of them has different knowledge and skills depends on what they have learn at school. Some of them have the same level but the most are different. For example trainees number 1, 7, and 14 their performance are high. They participate very actively in class. Their contribution to teaching is good. When I give them homework or work order they do it quickly and accepted. Also the presentation of results assessed positively. Other trainees, their level is acceptable. I look also in their English level. In general, Their English language needs to be improve. They dont have enough vocabulary or words that will help them to understand my English explanation so, when I will explain to them, I will not explain the whole lesson in English and when I explain in English, I will use easy and clear vocabulary. In this lesson, I often will use Arabic language. In conclusion, TE-6 class has good trainees and I am looking forward to teach them.

1.4 Classroom: The lesson will be in classroom 7.2.15 at the Telecommunication and Information building. The classroom has enough space for teaching. It is not too big and not too small. It is good classroom depends on the number of the trainees. It has a projector and one whiteboard. Unfortunately, it does not have any computer . It has good desks and chairs. Before I start my lesson I must check everything in this room. I must check the projector, do they work very well or not?. Also I count the chairs and desks, do we have enough chairs and desks for the trainees or not?. After that, I organize the class to the way of my lesson, I mean by that if I have group work I organize the class to grouping seat arrangement and so on. 1.5 College: CTI or (College of Telecom and Information ) is one of the biggest college in Saudi Arabia that focus on telecommunication technology. In 1997, CTI joins to Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC). CTI aims to rehabilitate and develop the national manpower in technical and professional fields according to quantitative and qualitative demand of the labor market. CTI has different department such as: communication department, department of computer and information and general studies department. CTI has good facilities. It has more than ten buildings each building has good and equipped classes. CTI also provides good course such as: English courses, CISCO courses and Microsoft courses. This college every day is growing very fast and it will help the new generation of this country to increase their knowledge on technical fields. Chapter2: Curriculum Analysis Major: Communication. Department: Communication Techniques. Course Title: Basics of Communication. Course Code: COM 136. Credit Hours/Week: 5 Contact Hours: L: 4, W: 2, T: 0. Prerequisites Course: COM 115 4 . Course Description: This course covers an introduction to communication principles and fundamentals, including different types of modulation and demodulation techniques. Also, the effect of noise on signal transmission is described. General Objective: At the end of this course , the trainees will be able to understand block diagrams, describing different modulation methods and frequency division
techniques. Also they will have the ability to distinguish between different receiver structures. Specific Objective: At the end of this course the trainees should be able to do the following: Deal with communication principles and fundamentals. Deal with analogue communication systems. Deal with analogue communication simulation methods Deal with the factors affecting transmitter and receiver performance. Deal with receiver technical specifications and compare between them. Content: Angle Modulation Transmission and Reception. Unit: Phase Modulation (PM). Chapter3: Content Analysis This lesson is related with previous lesson which is (Frequency Modulation (FM) according to the curriculum of TVTC) on understanding the basic parameter of the analog modulation. Also this lesson is related on the next lesson which is (Frequency Division Multiplexing FDM) on how the signal is separate before sending and how its collect together after sending it. 3.1 Angle Modulation: Angle modulation is the process by which the angle (frequency or phase) of the carrier signal is changed in accordance with the instantaneous amplitude of modulating or message signal. Classified on two types: Frequency Modulation (FM). Phase Modulation (PM).
Basically, angle modulation are used for: Commercial radio broadcasting. Television sound transmission. Two way mobile radio. Cellular radio. Microwave and satellite communication system. Angle Modulation Phase Modulation (PM) Frequency Modulation (FM) 13/5/2014 TRTS VFP-2 5 Osama Saeed Bafaqeeh ICT-TE-7
3.2 Phase Modulation (PM)
Phase Modulation uses at least two analog signals. The first signal is a carrier, and the other signal modifies the carrier signal to convey information. In Phase Modulation, the shape of the carriers signal curve is made to change at given points with respect to time. Figure shows the process of phase modulation. Both signals are sine waves that have the same fixed frequency and amplitude. They are however offset from each other. The two cross the amplitude reference line at different times and therefore, have different phases. When we want the phase modulated signal we should have two types of signals which are the modulating sine wave signal and the carrier signal.
The difference in phase between the two sine waves is a phase angle. As seen in the above figure, the two signals are offset by one-half cycle or 180 degrees out of phase. The resulting compound phase modulated signal is shown in figure 2.
3.3 The General Equation of PM: In any general equation of the analog modulation we should have all parts of the parameters such as: Amplitude Frequency and Phase.
3.4 Demodulation of PM: In phase modulation, the message signal is contained in the amount and rate of phase shift in a carrier wave. Because of demodulation reasons, the frequency of m(t) is always kept much smaller than that of the carrier signal. One of advantages of Phase Modulation is improved signal to noise ratio and less radiated power.
3.5 Comparing between PM and FM:
Phase Modulation (PM) Frequency Modulation (FM) Maximum phase deviation only depends on amplitude of modulation.
Maximum frequency deviation depends on amplitude of modulating voltage and modulating frequency. Phase of the carrier is modulated according to the message signal.
Frequency of the carrier is modulated according to the message signal. No changes in the modulation index with the changes in modulating frequency.
Modulation index is increased when the frequency is reduced. Modulated Signal Carrier Demodulated Signal - = 13/5/2014 TRTS VFP-2 7 Osama Saeed Bafaqeeh ICT-TE-7
Chapter4: Didactic Analysis Didactic Principle of Reduction, Motivation and Methodological Changes: First, I will start my lesson by doing a brief revision of the previous lesson which is Frequency Modulation (FM). In this lesson, I will use Arabic language because the level of the trainees in English language needs to be improve. In some cases, I will use English language. I reduce my lesson and make it simple by using didactic principle of reduction. I use the both way which are the horizontal way and the vertical way. In the horizontal way, I use it at the beginning because I will give the trainees a case study or example from our daily life about my lesson (Inductive approach) so this is the way how I make my lesson easy for understanding, simple and motivated. In the vertical way I use it because this lesson needs at least 3 hours to cover it so I take the most important thing in this lesson and I reduce it to 50 minutes. In addition, I will use didactic principle of methodical change by using the action form like lecture, case study, discovery and classroom conversation or by using the social form work like individual, partner and group work. Didactic Principle of Vividness: Then, I will start the main lesson by explain the angle modulation. Next, I will ask the trainees what you know about the Phase Modulation (PM). After that, I will explain to them what is the PM. Then, I will explain on the projector and the whiteboard the modulated signal of the phase. I will use clear structure with different color and structure to make sure the trainees will understand it. Didactic Principle of Self activity and Vividness: Next, I will explain the general equation of PM and give an example on the whiteboard. After that, I will explain to them the demodulation of PM. Then, I will ask them to do a group work about comparing between PM and FM. I ask them to do the group work, because I want to break the routine and make them active. Also because I want them to depends on their self in searching the information. After they do the group I will discuss the results with them on the whiteboard. Didactic Principle of Securing the Learning Progress: Finally, I will secure my lesson by give them quiz about the lesson to make sure they understand the lesson very well or not then I will discuss the results with them and I will give them a homework to link it with next lesson.
