7 ASSESSMENT In order to achieve this unit, candidates are required to present sufficient evidence that they have met all the performance criteria for each outcome within the range specified. Details of these requirements are given for each outcome. The assessment instruments used should follow the general guidance offered by the SQA assessment model and an integrative approach to assessment is encouraged. (See references at the end of support notes). Accurate records should be made of the assessment instruments used showing how evidence is generated for each outcome and giving marking schemes and/or checklists, etc. Records of candidates achievements should be kept. These records will be available for external verification. SPECIAL NEEDS Proposals to modify outcomes, range statements or agreed assessment arrangements should be discussed in the first place with the external verifier.

8 HIGHER NATIONAL UNIT SPECIFICATION SUPPORT NOTES UNIT NUMBER: UNIT TITLE: RADIO COMMUNICATION CIRCUITS SUPPORT NOTES: This part of the unit specification is offered as guidance. None of the sections of the support notes is mandatory. NOTIONAL DESIGN LENGTH: SQA allocates a notional design length to a unit on the basis of time estimated for achievement of the stated standards by a candidate whose starting point is as described in the access statement. The notional design length for this unit is 80 hours. The use of notional design length for programme design and timetabling is advisory only. PURPOSE This unit is to prepare candidates for further radio circuit development in telecommunications or radio frequency engineering. CONTENT/CONTEXT The following information gives further clarification regarding the context in which the outcomes and performance criteria are to be achieved. The unit is designed to develop competence in the appraisal of electronic circuits found in communication equipment. The unit is designed as an integrated block of learning outcomes such that on achievement of all performance criteria the operation and behavioural response of a complete communications system should be realised. The theoretical knowledge requirement for this unit would be best assessed by structured questions and assignments and practical exercises if appropriate. Amplifiers: MF; HF; VHF; using valve; transistor; integrated circuits. APPROACHES TO GENERATING EVIDENCE This unit should be carried out in a situation where candidates have access to a range of live transceiver installations. Practical demonstration of circuit behaviour/operation should be encouraged as a lead-in to investigative studies. ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES Centres may use the Instruments of Assessment which are considered by tutors/trainers to be the most appropriate. Examples of Instruments of Assessment which could be used: 8
9 Outcome 1 Structured questions using supplied circuit diagrams and a report on a laboratory test. A report on the test of a tuned amplifier to contain details of equipment used, procedure of the test, drawing of circuit under test, tabulated results, graph of gain in db and phase against log of frequency. Outcome 2 Structured questions, assignment or case study and a report on a laboratory test. Written report for performance criteria (a) to (c) should contain full details of equipment used, procedure of the test, drawing of circuit under test, tabulated results, graphs of attenuation in db and phase against log of frequency. Outcome 3 Structured questions using supplied circuit diagrams and a report on a laboratory test. Graphical and written report for performance criterion (c) should contain full details of equipment used, procedure of the test, drawing of the oscillator under test, tabulated and graphical display of results and recommendations for ensuring stability of amplitude and frequency of an oscillator subjected to supply voltage variations. Outcome 4 Structured questions and assignment or case study using supplied radio receiver diagrams. Outcome 5 Structured questions and assignment or case study using supplied transmitter diagrams. PROGRESSION HND second year Telecommunications Engineering or Radio Frequency Engineering or Marine Electronic Engineering. REFERENCES 1. Guide to unit writing. 2.
