AC circuits, phasors, impedance. Electromagnetic fields, electric power, transformers, magnetic materials, generators and motors. Operational amplifiers, Elements of digital circuits. Sensors and measurements of physical quantities. P, PHYS 241, CR, MATH 254.
Experiments deal with circuit and basic electronic concepts and design techniques.
Remove CDT status. Current mirrors, active loads, multi-stage amplifiers, output stages, frequency response, and feedback with emphasis on design, simulations of design and laboratory verification, measurement techniques, and technical communications. PSpice simulations are used as part of the design process. This class will focus on the design of planar active microwave circuits. Students will design their own circuits with CAD tools and measure their performance in the laboratory.
