4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the design and fabrication of custom-made integrated circuits. The course draws on students' knowledge of electronic circuit theory, semiconductor device physics and digital logic design to performthe design of an integrated circuit. Topics covered include review of semiconductor physics, CMOS static combinational logic implementation,MOS transistor theory, clocked CMOS logic, device parameter and performance estimation, integrated circuitmask layout design rules and integrated circuit fabrication techniques. (prereq: EE-290, EE-310 or EE-210, PH-360)
-
4.00 Credits
In the study of communication systems, students will investigate how they operate and what affects their performance. The course relies heavily on systemand signal analysis, both in the time and frequency domains, and includes an introduction to randomsignals and noise. Amplitude and anglemodulation systems are analyzed, including systems that transfer analog data and systems transferring digital data. Signal-processing techniques that are commonly used in systems that transfer digital data are presented. Bit-error rate performance for baseband signal detection in the presence of noise is analyzed. Laboratory experiments reinforce the concepts fromthe lecture, with an emphasis on communication systemfunctionalmodules. (prereq: EE-303 or EE-3031,MA-232)

3.00 Credits
In this course students are given background in noisemechanisms andmodels as applicable to analog electronics. Topics covered include origin of noise, resistor, BJT, and FET noisemodels, amplifier noise, design of low-noise amplifiers and power supplies, simulation of noise in SPICE, and noisemeasurement systems. (prereq: EE-3101)
-
3.00 Credits
This is the first course in the three-course EE senior design sequence. Students formthree- or four-person design teams and define a design problemwhich has alternative solutions. These alternatives are analyzed and evaluated to determine themost feasible solution(s). A formal feasibility study is required of each team, culminating in a written report and an oral presentation. Topics discussed in class include teambuilding, conceptual thinking and problem definition, ideation techniques, feasibility studies, technical specifications, design aids and research techniques, prototype development and testing, and verbal and written communications. Each student is required to keep a design log in a bound engineering notebook. (prereq: senior standing in electrical engineering)
-
3.00 Credits
This is a continuation of the EE design project defined by each design teamin EE-407. Themost feasible solution is now explored in depth and design options are detailed starting with block diagrams and progressing to detailed schematics. Each team's goal should be to have a detailed paper design complete by the end of the course, and to have ordered any parts whichmay have unusually long lead times. A formal design report and presentation is required. The two-hour lecture is used to discuss design techniques and to have guest lecturers on practical design considerations. Speakers also present topics on professionalismand the transition from academia to industry. (prereq: EE-407)
-
3.00 Credits
This is a continuation of the EE design project defined by each design teamin EE-407 and designed in EE-408. The design is now built, tested,modified, retested and completely documented in this final course of the senior design sequence. It is expected that each teamwill have a working prototype to demonstrate by the end of this course. The two-hour lecture is used to discuss problems and to have guest lecturers on practical design considerations and professionalism. (prereq: EE-408)
-
3.00 Credits
This course continues investigation of single and cascaded BJT andMOSFET amplifiers. In addition,midband gains, impedances, and frequency responses ofmulti-transistor amplifiers are studied. The effects of classic feedback configurations on amplifier characteristics are included. A significant portion of the course grade is based on the student's performance on assigned design projects. Students are expected to use previously learned design tools such as PSPICE to explore alternatives and verify their designs. The designs are constructed and tested in the laboratory, and documented in formal design reports. (prereq: EE-3101, EE-3111)
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers important concepts and signaling techniques commonly used in digital communication systems. Pulsemodulationmethods including PAM, PWM, and PPMare studied. Digitalmodulationmethods including ASK, FSK and PSKmodulations are reviewed, andmodulation techniques such as QAMare presented. Randomprocesses are used tomodel noise. The effects of noise on bit-error probabilities are analyzed for various systems. Other topics covered include thematched filter, correlation and an introduction to error-correction coding. (prereq: EE-4020 or EE-4021)
-
3.00 Credits
This course builds upon the EE-3220 DSP lecture course. It is heavily laboratory- and applications-oriented, enabling students to implement powerful algorithms on actual DSP hardware utilizing the C programming language. Such algorithms as FIR and IIR digital filters, adaptive andmultirate filters (interpolator),modulators and demodulators, correlators and discrete and fast Fourier transforms are programmed. The hardware is capable of processing stereo audio signals in realtime, effectively demonstrating the power of the techniques. (prereq: EE-3220, EE-4021 or equivalent or consent of instructor)
