��� Catalog Listing:������� EECS 622 (3)�� Introduction to radio transmission
systems.� Topics include radio
transmitter and receiver design, radiowave propagation phenomenology, antenna
performance and basic design, and signal detection in the presence of
noise.� Students will design radio
systems to meet specified performance measure.
����� Prerequisite:� ����� EECS
420
Course Objective:������� To introduce the fundamentals of radio
transmission systems, including wireless communication devices and radar.� Topics include transmitter and receiver
system analysis and design, antenna performance and specification, fundamentals
of propagation and scattering, and detection in the presence of noise.� Upon completion of this course, students
should be capable of designing, at a systems level, a radio transmission system
that will meet a given detection specification.

����� Grading Scale:������� Grades will be
assigned to the following scale:
������������������������������������������� A����� 90 - 100 %
B����� 80 - 89 %
C����� 70 - 79 %
D����� 60 - 69 %
F����� < 60 %
����������������������������������� These
are guaranteed maximum scales and
may be revised downward at the instructor's
discretion.
���������� Homework:������� Homework will be
collected at the beginning of class
on a roughly weekly basis.� Collaboration
with classmates is permitted.� Copying is not permitted.
���������������� Exams:������� No make-ups
for missed exams will be given.� If
you have attended 75% of the lectures and have 75% on the homework, and
you have a legitimate excuse for missing an exam (e.g., significant illness
family emergency), the first missed exam will be scored by taking 90% of the
average of the other exams.� Subsequent missed
exams will be scored as zero.� Note this
policy does not mean that you can �drop� one exam!
������� Ethics Policy:������� Academic misconduct
will not be tolerated.� It will result in a failing grade and may result in further disciplinary action by the
University.� For details see the Academic
Misconduct section of the Timetable.
