431-326 Electronic System Design

431-221 Fundamentals of Signals and Systems, 431-222 Electronic Devices and Circuits and 431-202 Engineering Analysis B (prior to 2001, 421-205 Engineering Analysis B) or equivalent.

In this subject students should gain an understanding of the methodologies for designing a variety of electronic circuits and acquire a knowledge of design and synthesis techniques for common analog and digital filters.

Topics include comparators and timers; wideband amplifiers: frequency response, loading effects, multistage amplifiers; tuned circuits; output stages: distortion; nonlinear analog circuits: multipliers, rectifiers; analog filter design and synthesis; and digital filter design.

One written examination not exceeding three hours, practice classes, tests, assignments, laboratory reports and project reports, not exceeding 20 pages. Students will be notified of the weighting of assessment components at the beginning of the semester.
