Abstract

The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.

Learning objective

"Amateur radio" enables wireless communicate over long distances. However, an amateur radio station may not be operated without further ado of an official license. To operate an amateur radio one needs to pass the HB3 or HB9 examination offered by the federal office of communication (OFCOM).

In this course we will cover the most important topics of amateur radio. There willl also be a practical part. In this part you will have the opportunity to take the radio into your own hands. For example, you will be offered the opportunity during a “portable” excursion (not subject to testing) to set up and operate a mobile radio station in the field.

Although the course prepares for the OFCOM exam, the exam itself is not a prerequisite for obtaining the P&S credits. The HB9 exam by the OFCOM will be offered after the course, and it will only be offered to those that actively participate in the course. As part of the exam it will be e.g. necessary to successfully set up a radio connection to another station. Upon a successful exam one may use the AMIV radio shack on the roof of the ETZ or set up and operate the own system.

The learning material will be handed out in the first lesson of the course.
