The Emona Communications Board (DxIQ‑45G) is a purpose‑built partner board for the Digilent Analog Discovery Studio Max (ADS Max), designed to introduce students to foundational concepts in modern digital and analog telecommunications through hands‑on laboratory experimentation. Developed by Emona Instruments, this single‑board solution integrates seamlessly with ADS Max to create a comprehensive, classroom‑ready communications lab.
Hands‑On Telecommunications Learning
The DxIQ‑45G enables students to practically build, test, and analyze real‑world digital communication systems, helping bridge theoretical principles with real electrical signals. Using Emona’s proven block‑diagram method, students patch experiments together step‑by‑step, supporting a learning‑by‑doing approach that brings complex telecommunications concepts to life.
Comprehensive Experiment Coverage
This compact, single‑panel PCB consolidates multiple traditional training panels into one board and supports 19 fully documented telecommunications experiments. The included coursework covers core topics commonly found in introductory modern telecommunications laboratory programs, allowing educators to deliver in‑depth lab experiences without multiple standalone trainers.
Real‑World Signals and Robust Design
Students work directly with real‑world signals, connecting theory to practical application through hands‑on experimentation. All inputs and outputs are physically and electrically robust, designed for everyday student use in teaching laboratories. Each experiment is fully documented with step‑by‑step guidelines and expected outcomes.
