Wireless Technology

Description: 
This learning module is provided by Work-Ready Electronics and covers contemporary wireless technology. Work-Ready Electronics modules are intended to be used either independently or integrated with current electronics curricula in college programs. This module is divided into four sections: Content, Knowledge Probes, Learning Activities, and Research.

Contents:
The Content section includes five PDF documents that cover the following topics: Electromagnetic Spectrum, Modulation and Multiplexing, Propagation of Radio Waves, The Electronics of Wireless, and Introduction to Wireless Technology. 

Five Knowledge Probes are included in this learning module. The Knowledge probes include learning objectives and a short quiz. Each Knowledge Probe corresponds to a topic covered in the Content section. 

The Learning Activities section includes a FCC Regulations for Wireless drill-down report, a Wireless lab activity, and an Introduction to Wireless Technology performance assessment. The performance assessment includes 64-multiple choice questions. 

A 1-page reference document and a 2-page applications document is also included. 

For orientation purposes Wireless Operation.pdf is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this collection. 

Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment. The size of each file is included in parenthesis.
