AVI 2060 - Aviation Communications I

Clock Hours: 66

Delivery Mode
on-ground

Course Description:
This course provides basic principles of electronic communication, including AM, FM, and SSB receivers, transmitters, and transceivers theory, antennas, transmission lines, and wave propagation. Emphasis is placed on communication circuits used in amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, and single-sideband receiver/transmitters, and on the development of diagnostic, troubleshooting, and repair skills. Student will be to align, troubleshoot, and repair a basic receiver, and will have a working knowledge of antennas, frequency spectrum, and propagation. Knowledge will then be applied specifically to aircraft radios. Upon completion of this subject area, the student should be able to align, test, troubleshoot, and describe the operation of typical systems.
