Course Title: Data Communication Lab

Course No: CSE 308 Credit: 3 Contact Hours: 3 Total Marks: 100
1. Rationale:
The signal conversion methods, sampling, quantization, pulse modulation techniques, error analysis, digital
modulation, encoding schemes, data transmission methods, Open System Interconnection (OSI) model,
frame transmission methods, multiplexing low-speed channels, Local Area Network (LAN), Transmission
Control Protocol, Internet Protocol (TCP/IT), Ethernet, IEEE 802 networking technology. Interpretation of
analog-signaling aspects of digital systems and data communications through experience in using
contemporary test instruments to generate and display signals in relevant laboratory setups. Use of
oscilloscopes, pulse and function generators, baseband spectrum analyzers, desktop computers, terminals,
modems, PCs, and workstations in experiments on pulse transmission impairments, waveforms and their
spectra, modem and terminal characteristics, and interfaces.

2. Objectives:
Understanding of conversion of analog to digital signals, sampling, and quantization.
Understanding of Pulse-Code-Modulations and Delta modulation
Understanding of transmission of digital signal over analog media
Explain the error analysis in data communication, error detection and correction.
Understanding of Open System network models and OSI layers.
Explain the network architecture and protocol and data link protocols.
Understanding of Local Area Network devices, switching, and technology.
3. Learning Outcomes:
