In more detail, the process first involves students in observing the operational process (analog and digital) in the laboratory to provide them with an introduction to communication systems -- and then the fundamental principles, and basic concepts and technologies, are covered in classroom instruction. After the students have mastered the theoretical bases, some system simulations and hardware experiments are arranged intermittently -- such as utilizing the visualized system simulation software, System View, in the software simulation laboratory to simulate the communication system they have studied. The students can construct a simulation model of the system based on the system principle; observe the real-time operational process and the simulation waveforms of the signals at various points; and analyse and compare the simulation results. By doing so, they have a more complete and deeper understanding of the principles and performance of the communication system, which lays the basis for the following hardware experiments. During the network extension, student questioning, instructor responses, electronic teaching plans, electronic courseware transfer and data uploading can be carried out.

Though such varied teaching measures, a close relationship between theory and practice is established; students’ independent study is promoted, and their operational and innovative abilities are enhanced; and resource sharing and collaboration between the instructors and students are fostered.
