About the Laboratory:

Communication laboratory is one of the specialized laboratories for students of the third stage in the Department of Control and Systems Engineering. All branches of the department use this laboratory. A set of experiments are given in this laboratory related to the Communication systems subject. These experiments include the main concepts of Communication, which are AM, FM, Phase modulation, and different applications on communication. The students perform these experiments using a special board. The student is initially given an introduction to this board and then learns how to deal with the program associated with it. Lectures are given in the laboratory with a total of 6 hours per week and an average of 24 students per class.

The Vision and the Objectives of the laboratory

It is to make this lab one of the distinctive and pioneer labs in various electronic systems as well as preparing an engineering staff that is capable of facing various kinds of problems and engineering work obstacles.
This lab aims to:
1- Enrich the students with various sensors and transducers for feedback experiments in order to deal with them within various kinds of control systems.
2- Enabling the student to control and operate machines, instrument in a factory or facility and electrical stations automatically (automation), where the student becomes able to write various programs in digital ladder language to manage the speed control of a system using computers or any sequence process like elevators, traffic lights or transporting belts, etc. In addition, the student is trained to connect the input/output items with PLC devices in a practical way.
