This course continues the development of the students engineering skills through a tight coupling of theoretical and practical skills. Students investigate higher level electronic circuit analysis and design techniques, and apply this knowledge to the design of specific electronic hardware. The topics covered are frequency response of amplifiers, use of approximation techniques for estimating amplifier performance, differential and multistage amplifier design, the use of feedback for improving circuit performance, oscillator and phase-lock loop design, and design of wave shaping and data converter circuits. Additionally students gain experience with issues associated with electronic component parasitics, circuit stability, coupling and decoupling, circuit simulation, prototyping and construction.
