Course Description:
This advanced course in electronics examines
high frequency response of bipolar junction transistor and field-effect
transistor amplifiers using hybrid two-port active device models. Students
consider the effect of feedback and frequency compensation techniques on the amplifier
response and study a variety of analog circuits with respect to their analysis
and applications, including active filters, oscillators, waveform generation
and shaping, voltage regulator, and communication circuits. The course
introduces basic power electronics device components.
This spring EE331 is a “special projects”
course and includes EE331L as an integral part. All Exams
are “take home”
Prerequisites: EE221, EE231
Co-requisite: EE331L

Exam grading:
The purpose of the exam is
to
convey your understand the material; therefore, it is
important that you show your work. Even if you feel
that the solution to a problem is obvious; you must still explain why it is
obvious.
Furthermore; if you are
asked to solve
a problem using a given technique; then please use that technique; otherwise, I have no
way to judge your understanding of the technique being tested.
Homework policy:
The purpose of homework:
A: To give student practice.
B: To give professor feedback.
Homework will be collected and graded.
Grade is based more on honest
effort
than correct answers.
Homework is
due the next class after
it is assigned (except when specified). This two
week
homework cycle gives an intervening class
where
students can ask questions. Late homework
assignments are not accepted. If you know you have a conflict, please make arrangements ahead for time.
If you know in advance that you will be missing class please contact me to make arrangements regarding homework.
If you understand
how to do the homework problems you
will have an
easier time with
the
Exams.
Class structure:
Lectures will
be
the primary source of information.
Students
are expected to attend
every class and to participate in class discussions. Homework assignments will
be discussed in class. Students will be expected to work
problems in class. You will
find
it beneficial
to review the chapters before the lecture.
Your laboratory work on your team design projects in the
co-requisite EE231L count towards the lecture course grade as well as your Lab
grade. This is to encourage you to put
in a good effort on and use of the lecture materials in your designs.
Office hours are
open for
discussion of anything. You can get help with
homework, projects, or more detailed explanations of topics covered in class. Feel free to stop by,
email me, or make an appointment to meet another
time.
