Initiation, design, scheduling, documentation and reporting on a major design
dents will make written and oral presentations on their contributions to the
project. Financial, legal, ethical, societal, regulatory, environmental,
manufacturability, and quality issues will be discussed and will constrain the
designs as appropriate.
Required of all electrical engineering seniors.
Continuation of the major design project begun in Elec 421. Project imple-
dents working in the small groups formed in ELEC 421. The impact of the
practical, societal, and governmental issues raised in ELEC 421 will be assessed.
Each student will make written and oral presentations on their contributions to
the project. A prototype demonstration and presentation of final results in a
symposium format is required.
Introduction to the characteristics, design, and applications of discrete time
Systems. Design of FIR and IIR filters. Design of Chebyshev and Butterworth
filters. Introduction to DSP architecture.
Basic principles governing the operation of solid-state devices are developed
analysis of devices such as bipolar transistors, solar cells, detectors, and photo
devices. The theory of field-effect devices is developed.
An introduction to the control and measurement of interference between elec-
both radiated and conducted emissions and susceptibility will be taught. The
course will also cover ways of enhancing signal integrity in high-speed circuits
and reducing crosstalk. Laboratory exercises and demonstrations will be used to
reinforce the material.
