2nd Ed., McGraw Hill, 1998. 4th Ed., Wiley, 2000. There are three or four laboratory experiments including an extensive system design project with a formal written report. There will be one midterm and one final in class examination. The vast majority of the lectures, homework and projects deal with the application of circuit theory to electronic system analysis and design.
Mathematical formulations are commonplace throughout the course.
The course includes a weekly three hour session in our undergraduate electronics laboratory. Laboratory experiments include analysis, design, construction, and testing of specific electronic systems utilizing transistors, resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, etc. The performance of each student in the laboratory is evaluated by the teaching assistant as part of the laboratory grade. Several of the homework problems and one experiment requires designing filter circuits to meet specific frequency response specifications. Other problems and experiments require meeting specific voltage and current drive requirements.
