COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS LAB

The department of ECE is equipped with communication systems lab for

conducting regular academic lab courses. Also the lab promotes research in
Antenna design, Optical Communication and Wireless Networking. The
following curriculum laboratory courses are being conducted in
Communication systems lab.

1. Microwave and Optical Communication lab

Various experimental facilities like Horn antenna characterization, VSWR
measurement systems, and Directional coupler study are included in the
regular curriculum.
2. Analog Communication Lab
Various modulation techniques including AM and FM systems are
performed in the analog communication lab. The experiments are
performed using discrete components which will enable students to
develop an insight to the operation of communication systems.
3. Digital Communication Lab
The lab offers both hardware and software based studies on various
digital modulation techniques apart from the verification studies on
fundamental coding techniques. We employ MATLAB scientific platform
for digital modulation techniques performance analysis which was
supported by the theoretical framework students learn in the theory
class. The course enables students to develop a clear understanding on
digital communication systems and its performance.
The lab offers research facility for antenna for broadband applications and also
promotes wireless and wired networking research. The microstrip kits and
antennas along with the RF transmitters and amplifiers enable real time testing
facilities. Communication Systems lab equipped with the following software for
research.
1. QualNet for networking
2. MATLAB Version 7.2

Kit Based Digital Communication Experiments

Optical Video Link Receiver

Microwave bench for VSWR Measurement. Klystron power supply, Gunn

oscillator, slotted line are employed for VSWR estimation.
