ECE Lab 2
Courses in this Lab
In EE Lab 2, students build, test, and experiment with more advanced analog circuits. The lab draws on material covered in EE 4313 Electronic Circuits 2 along with a few ideas from EE 3213 Electromagnetic Engineering. Areas typically covered include:- Active-filter design and implementation
- Power-amp design and construction
- Basic printed circuit board layout and construction
- Circuit board parasitics
- RF oscillator design and implementation
- RF mixer design and implementation
- RF filter design and implementation
- More advanced use of common laboratory instrumentation, including oscilloscopes, function generators, and spectrum analyzers
- Circuit simulation with OrCAD Capture and PSpice, and layout with OrCAD Layout
- Technical communication
Students work in groups of 2 or 3 at one of eight lab stations each consisting of the following equipment:
- Agilent 54615B dual-channel 500MHz oscilloscope
- PC's loaded with OrCAD Capture and Layout, along with Microsoft Word and Excel
- Wavetek Model 395 arbitrary function generator
- Agilent E4411B 1.5GHz spectrum analyzer
