The Emona Communications Board is a versatile add-on for the DIGILENT ADS Max, designed to introduce students to foundational concepts in modern digital and analog telecommunications. This single-board solution enables hands-on learning through dozens of experiments, bridging theoretical principles with practical applications.
Emona’s Communications board (DxIQ-45G) enables students to practically build, test, and analyze real-world digital communication systems, bringing complex theoretical principles to life. This single-board solution consolidates multiple traditional training panels into a compact form factor making it ideal for in-depth hands-on laboratory-based exploration of coding, modulation, spread spectrum techniques, and signal recovery.
By using Emona’s proven block-diagram method, students patch experiments together step-by-step, fostering practical understanding and retention. The DxIQ-45G comes complete with essential accessories and detailed lab manuals that guide students through numerous experiments, ensuring thorough comprehension of modern telecommunications.
Students use a hands-on learning methodology to bring to life theoretical concepts with real world signals that relate directly to the theory. All inputs and output are physically and electrically robust and designed for everyday student use and all experiment are fully documented with step by step guidelines and outcomes. The included coursework covers most of an introductory 2 year EE & EEC laboratory program.
As well, being an open ended architecture allows professors to develop their own teaching materials using the elements provided by the board.
