& J. E. Kemmerly, McGraw-Hill, 1993

Systems using the Web and
Matlab (2nd
edition), by E. W. Kamen & B. S. Heck, Prentice Hall
Description: Frequency
response, two-port networks, magnetically coupled
circuits, continuous and
discrete-time signals, linear time invariant systems,
Laplace
transform, Fourier analysis and z-transform. Computer simulations. 4cr
Objective: The main goals of
this course are (1) to introduce students
to
advanced circuit materials such as two-port networks, and magnetically
coupled
networks, and (2) to provide an introduction of representation and
analysis of signals and systems.
Outcome: After the
successful completion of this course, the students
will
understand basic principles of two-port networks, magnetically coupled
networks, continuous-time and
discrete-time signals and systems. The students
will be
able to perform time-domain and frequency-domain analysis using Laplace
transform, Z transform, Z
transform, Fourier analysis techniques and to use
MATLAB
and Simulink to do so. The students will be prepared to apply their
knowledge and experience toward
follow-up courses such as Analog Electronics,
control
systems and communications.
Lab: The Laboratory
presents opportunities to practice and
learn
what is taught in the classroom and gain hands-on experiences. Handouts
will be
given prior to each laboratory exercise so that the students may study
the
problems and think them over beforehand. Laboratory assignments will contain
simulation (using MATLAB, Simulink)
and/or hardwares and instruments.

Assessment for Student Performance
and Course Teaching:
1. Homework will be
assigned after each lecture period and due at the
beginning of the next lecture. All
homework will be collected and graded.
2. Laboratory
experiments will be assigned weekly as well. All labs need
to be
signed off by the instructor or the lab assistant. Lab reports will be
collected and
graded.
3. There will be two
midterm exams and one final exam. The exams can only
be made
up if an excused absence is obtained from the instructor before the
exam.
Grading: (Grades will be
given based on the following guideline and the
instructor's discretion.)
Homework 20% Lab
10%
Midterm
1 20% Midterm 2 20%
Final
Exam 30%
Attendance: Attendance is
absolutely essential for the success of
this
course. Attendance will be taken during all lectures.
Course
Policies:
1. All
homework and laboratory assignments are to be performed and
documented individually by each
student. No late homework or laboratory reports
will be
accepted since solutions will be posted shortly after they are due.
2. Any
student who does not complete most of the homework problems or
laboratory exercises will receive
grade F.
3. In the
hardware laboratory, students will perform experiments in groups
of two.
Analysis and software portions of laboratory exercises should be
completed individually. All
students need to get familiar with lab procedures,
softwares and instruments.
4. Lab
reports should follow the specified format.
5. Bonus
points will be given to those who demonstrate one or more of the
following in their work:
independent thinking, clean presentation, good results,
good
writing skills, and so on.

Laboratory
Report
The lab
reports are required for all students. The lab report should be typed
using
word processor. The contents of the lab report are as
follows:
Objective
- State
the purpose of the experiment in a short paragraph (two or three lines).
Do not
repeat the objective given in the laboratory handout.
Analysis
-
Analyze the problem, display the theories, sample calculations, and simulation
results
when applicable. (This part of the report may be hand
written.)
Procedure
-
Describe briefly each part of the experiment
-
Describe any difficulties or problems encountered during the
Experiment
-
Include circuit diagrams or block diagrams
-
Include data in the form of plot, table, or other suitable
means
Conclusion
- For
each part of the experiment state significant results
-
Answer all questions asked in the lab handout
- Any
improvements or changes you might suggest
- What
you have learned from the lab
