The focus is on the continuous-time cases, such as voice, music, and video. Further work with signal modeling and the interaction of signals and linear systems. The focus is on the discrete-time cases, such as digitized music, processing images, and simulations. A study of the behavior and modeling of semiconductor devices. Topics include nonlinearity and the methods used to analyze nonlinear elements, simple AC and DC converters, and voltage regulation.
Computer simulation is used as a design and study aid.
An introduction to quantum mechanics and solid state materials. Topics include conductors, semiconductors, dielectric and magnetic materials and devices. A design project is required. An examination of the theory of electromagnetic fields, starting from basic laws and definitions. Design experiments associated with topics presented in CPE 271, EE 301, and EE 303.
