Application in Circuits and Electronics
Course Description:
Courseware: Operational amplifier. Network (active and passive) using Laplace and inverse Laplace transforms. Frequency response of passive and active filters, Active and passive filter design. Oscillators.
Labware: Experiments in electrical network analysis that demonstrate the knowledge of the main theorems of dc and ac network, e.g., Ohm's law, Kirchhoff law , Thivenen and first order circuits. In addition, experiments that demonstrate the knowledge of microelectronic devices, e.g., rectifiers , transistors (BJT and FET) op amps, active filters and oscillators.
