INSTRUCTOR ASSISTANCE: Tues-Thurs 5:00 – 6:00 and by phone or email.
CLASS HOURS: 2 hours per week starting at 6:30 pm on Thurs, the lab is available at most times.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This advanced lab provides insight
into the functions of various application-specific electronic circuits. Design
Projects characterize functioning of various analog systems, such as
oscillators, active filters, waveform generation and shaping circuits, and
voltage regulator circuits.
PREREQUISITE: EE231L, Analog Electronics Lab I (or equivalent)
CO-REQUISITE: EE 331, “Analog Electronics II” (or equivalent).
The
student should also be able to simulate systems using Multisim (or LTSpice) and
MatLab.

SW: The student should have access to Multisim (or LTSpice) and MatLab
The student is expected to attend all of the scheduled classes if for some reason the student cannot make a class the Instructor should be contacted in advance, if possible, to arrange to do and turn in the assigned work and get assignment for following class. The course will include 6 Design exercises. The student is expected to turn in all work on time.
The Blackboard system along with our course web site will be used to manage this course. Students must submit their assignments into Blackboard for archival and grading. All work is to be typed (including equations), drawings are to be computer-base, not scanned, hand written work and show derivations for all equations used.
