ECE Lab 1
EE 3133 Electrical Engineeering Laboratory 1
In EE Lab 1, students build, test, and experiment with active analog circuits. The lab draws on material from EE 3313 Electronic Circuits 1 and introduces some material covered in EE 4313 Electronic Circuits 2. Areas typically covered include:- Laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, and LabVIEW
- RC and RLC filters
- Diode rectifiers and clamps
- Bipolar junction transistor amps and current sources
- Field-effect transistor amps and switches
- Operations amplifier circuits
- Comparators, Schmitt triggers, and oscillators
- Voltage regulators, references, and silicon-controlled rectifiers
- Construction of digital gates using transistors
- Automatic data acquisition and display using LabVIEW
- Technical communication
Students work in groups of 2 or 3 at one of a dozen lab stations each consisting of the following equipment:
- National Instruments ELVIS workstation, providing a protoboard, power supplies, signal generator, and software-based instruments
- Agilent 54622A dual-channel 100MHz oscilloscope
- PC's loaded with NI ELVIS software for control of the ELVIS workstation, along with National Instruments LabVIEW, and Microsoft Word and Excel
