A survey of the family of active electronic devices. Analysis includes both graphical and mathematical models. Laboratory periods are devoted to the measurement of device characteristics in basic circuit configurations. Two hours recitation and four hours lab a week. The application of electronic devices to amplifiers.
Laboratory exercises emphasize principles of circuit design and analysis.
Three hours recitation and four hours lab a week. A survey of electronic communication techniques and systems including amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, single-sideband, and pulse modulation. Transmission line concepts, antenna theory, and the effects of noise are also included. Laboratory work involves design and measurement along with field trips to representative sites. Three hours recitation and two hours lab a week.
