Justification for CO-PO and CO-PSO Mapping

CO1 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): Understanding analog and digital communication systems is grounded in
fundamental concepts of engineering and mathematics.
 PO2 (Level 2): Analyzing the behavior and characteristics of communication systems
involves interpreting data and waveforms.
 PO5 (Level 2): Communication systems use modern tools (e.g., spectrum analyzers,
simulation tools), so practical understanding is supported.
 PO10 (Level 1): Basic verbal and written explanation of communication concepts is
necessary in labs and documentation.
 PO12 (Level 1): Since technology in communication evolves, learners must continuously
update their knowledge.
 PSO1 (Level 3): Describing systems requires analytical understanding of signal flow and
block diagrams across domains.

CO2 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): Fourier and noise analysis are mathematically intensive and rooted in
engineering principles.
 PO2 (Level 3): Understanding noise requires data interpretation, signal distortion
analysis, and spectral behavior.
 PO4 (Level 2): Analytical approaches to investigating signal behavior and effect of noise
fall under experimental design.
 PO5 (Level 2): Signal processing often involves simulation tools like MATLAB or Octave
for Fourier transform analysis.
 PO12 (Level 1): New noise models and analysis tools are continuously evolving in the
field of signal processing.
 PSO1 (Level 3): Accurate problem understanding and interpretation of noise and
frequency content are critical.

CO3 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): Designing transmitters/receivers requires deep mathematical and circuit
knowledge.
 PO2 (Level 2): Design is based on signal analysis (modulation index, bandwidth, etc.)
from gathered data.
 PO3 (Level 3): This CO directly targets system design in the context of communication,
fulfilling PO3's goal.
 PO4 (Level 2): Design must be verified with simulations and tests, involving
interpretation of experimental results.
 PO5 (Level 3): Simulation and hardware testing involve modern tools and instruments,
strongly fulfilling PO5.
 PO10 (Level 1): Students must document the design and explain the working of their
circuits.
 PSO1 (Level 2): Designing requires understanding of signal problems and functional
block behavior.
 PSO2 (Level 2): Students implement real-world designs using standard procedures and
testing.

CO4 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): Sampling theorem and pulse modulation are mathematical concepts that
require strong theoretical understanding.
 PO2 (Level 2): Analysis of time-discrete signals and pulse techniques requires data
interpretation.
 PO4 (Level 2): Sampling and pulse modulation experiments validate theory, thus
involving investigation.
 PO5 (Level 2): Tools like oscilloscopes, simulation software are used to demonstrate
pulse sampling and TDM.
 PO12 (Level 1): Emerging digital modulation techniques need lifelong learning of
advanced topics.
 PSO1 (Level 2): Understanding digital encoding and its application demands conceptual
clarity.

CO5 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): Topics like TDM, FDM, and digital modulation involve core engineering
and mathematics.
 PO2 (Level 2): Analyzing how multiplexed signals are affected by bandwidth and
channel capacity needs data interpretation.
 PO3 (Level 2): Multiplexing and modulation techniques are part of system design
processes in communication.
 PO5 (Level 3): Use of digital simulators, GNU Radio, or MATLAB makes the use of tools
integral to understanding.
 PO12 (Level 1): Learners need to stay current with evolving standards like QAM, OFDM,
etc.
 PSO1 (Level 2): Analytical skill is required to understand how modulation affects
performance.
 PSO2 (Level 2): Students implement and simulate digital modulation schemes for
practical use.

CO6 Justification:
 PO1 (Level 3): EM wave theory is a fundamental topic in physics and electrical
engineering.
 PO2 (Level 2): Students analyze wave propagation in various media, including antenna
behavior and reflection.
 PO5 (Level 2): Visualization and analysis tools (e.g., antenna simulation) enhance
understanding of wave propagation.
 PO12 (Level 2): Wireless communication technologies evolve rapidly (e.g., 5G, 6G),
requiring continuous learning.
 PSO1 (Level 2): Understanding how signals propagate is key to analyzing
communication problems in practice.
