Development of models descriptive of linear and nonlinear transistor operation. Development of transistor model for nonlinear operation. Emphasis on applications to problems in communication system design. Mechanical and physical properties, theoretical aspects, testing, design criteria, manufacturing, and economics of material systems. Laboratory testing and evaluation.
Balanced emphasis is placed on both continuous and discrete time systems.
Some advanced topics of interest will be considered. Use of overcurrent, differential distance, and pilot relaying systems. Special relay applications. Determination of short-circuit currents and voltages from system studies. Study may be independent of through specially scheduled lectures.
