EET 151 - Introduction to Electronics
Students are taught the characteristics of amplifiers using op-amps. Various linear and non-linear applications of op-amps are introduced, with emphasis on their use in the telecommunications industry. Electro-optical devices, such as LEDs, laser diodes, and photodiodes are studied. Diodes and transistors are conceptually introduced, and their basic application in power supplies and amplifiers are discussed. Frequency response of passive networks and amplifiers are discussed and visualized via Bode plots. Troubleshooting and analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Some hands-on lab experiments are performed.
