Abstract
The United States Naval Academy offers a junior level communications systems course that includes a significant amount of hardware design. A signals and systems class is the prerequisite for this course, during which the necessary fundamentals are developed to allow for an immediate discussion of higher order modulation schemes. The open-ended design project deals with designing, building, and testing a 16-QAM communications link. This project allows for a significant amount of design experience prior to starting the traditional senior-year design sequence.
