| This course continues cadet education in electrical engineering through the study of basic electronic devices and circuits. It begins with an introduction to semi-conductor device physics. Students study the pn-junction diode and the bipolar junction transistor in the DC, small-signal, and large-signal operation. The course emphasizes single-stage amplifier design that culminates in an audio amplifier project. The course concludes with frequency analysis of amplifier circuits and an introduction to field-effect transistors. Three laboratory exercises, three mini-labs, a calculator-based equation solving exercise and computer-aided simulations supplement the lectures with practical circuit analysis, design, construction and testing. (Note: dropped effective with the new curriculum for the Class of 2005) |
