Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Teaching methods
The lectures are organized as follows:
14 séances de cours
14 séances de cours
- 14 lecturing sessions
- 9 session of practical training/monitored exercices (solutions are provided later on on Moodle)
- laboratory sessions about AM and FM modulations.
Evaluation methods
About the lectures, the students are evaluated on individually with rresepct to the particular objectives stated above. The examination is "closed books".
Laboratories are subject to individual evaluation.
A continuous evaluation may be conducted on the basis of homeworks to be submitted during the year.
