Telecommunication Systems

This subject is basically divided into two parts, one Electronics and the other Telecommunication. Electronics includes the study of transistors, Networking Theorems, Multivibrators (Used in Motherboard Circuits), Power Supply, Zenar diodes etc. Telecommunication includes TV Receiver, TV signal, Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Modulation etc. This subject has the maximum number of Topics so one has to prepare well in advance!
