Catalog Data & Credits (Recitation-Lab-Total)

EE342 Advanced Electronics (3-2-4): A project-based course where students will explore advanced topics in analog circuits and design methodologies, with focus on operational amplifiers, oscillators, active filters, audio circuits, transistors, and integrated circuits. Students examine a wide range of sensors and actuators.

Pre-requisites

Course Objectives

1. Perform differential amplifier, multistage amplifier, and current mirror circuit analysis and design, using small signal models of BJTs and MOSFETS.
2. Perform high and low frequency response analyses of BJT and MOSFET amplifiers and understand the benefits of the cascode configuration.
3. Analyze and design the four types of feedback amplifiers in the mid-frequency band.
4. Analyze and design 2nd and higher order passive and active filters including RLC, Ionou, Biquad, KHN, and Tow-Thomas filters.
5. Develop an understanding of positive feedback and the Burkhausen oscillation criterion. Develop the skills to analyze and design oscillators (Wien bridge, phase shift, quadrature, Colpitts, Hartley, and crystal oscillators) and multi-vibrators (Bistable, Astable, and Monostable).
6. Demonstrate the ability to design, construct, test, debug, and explain amplifier, filter, and oscillator/multi-vibrator circuits in a laboratory environment.
