<objectives>After successfully completing this course, students will be able to carry out measurements in the laboratory using equipment (e. g. oscilloscope, function generators, transmitter, spectrum analyzer, etc.), evaluate, interpret and then present their measurement results. 

Students will be familiar with the relevant simulation tools used in communications engineering and digital technology. They will be able to simulate a given circuit and subject the simulation results to a critical comparison with real measured values. They will also be able to explain the measured and simulated phenomena with regard to the circuit technology used. 

Students will be capable of working independently on more complex simulation and measurement tasks. In addition, they will acquire basic knowledge in semiconductor technology in order to be able to use the right circuitry techniques for various applications.</objectives>
