Our laboratory is equipped with analog communications training kits, a digital communications training set with a high-speed data acquisition system, an amplitude modulation (AM) superheterodyne training kit, a frequency modulation (FM) stereo training kit, a transmission line demonstrator training kit, an optical communications training kit, various digital signal processing training kits, and a telephony training kit. It also contains spectrum analyzers, digital oscilloscopes, arbitrary sweep generators and RF programmable synthesizers.

This lab is used for industrial training on the fundamentals of various analog and digital communication systems, DSP fundamentals and digital filters, and optical and wireless communications. For testing purposes, the laboratory has general diagnostics and troubleshooting of various communication systems. Research activities carried out in the lab include studying the characteristics of different communication channels and systems in addition to real-time DSP applications. This lab is primarily used for teaching various analogue and digital modulation/demodulation schemes; AM superheterodyne receivers and stereo FM, PAM and quantization; coding and time division multiplexing techniques; signaling and data format in digital communications; demonstration of transmission line; basics of optical communications and DSP; and foundations of telephony systems and operation.
