Brief description of current content to be announced in schedule of classes. May be taken more than once. 3 Credits Focuses on the design and implementation of the instruction-set architecture. This course integrates the concepts from Circuits, Electronics and Fields to discuss radio frequency design techniques as applied to state of the art electronics devices. This course covers device theory and operation of power semiconductor circuits like phase controlled rectifiers, cycloconverters, choppers, and inverters.
Emphasis is placed on fundamentals, and conventional methods of speed control of electric machines.
Control strategies using power semiconductors for DC motor drives, induction motor drives, synchronous motor drives, and brushless DC and AC motors are discussed. Basic concepts in modern communication and information theory. Properties of random waveforms. Noise considerations in communication systems. Classical techniques employing Z-transforms are discussed, as well as state variables techniques.
