-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: PHYS 126 Corequisite: PHYS 301 and PHYS 303L Study of analog electronics, including direct and alternating circuit analysis, resonant circuits, diodes, transistors, amplifiers, operational amplifiers, noise, feedback and oscillators. Outcome: Students will understand and manipulate equations and concepts, and gain experience with electronics equipment, plotting and interpretation of data, synthesizing and writing laboratory results, and the formal verbal presentation of results.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 126 or its equivalent, Co-requisite PHYS 303. Students will learn to use various electronic components, instruments, techniques, and applications. This course complements PHYS 303, which is a co-requisite or a prerequisite. Outcome: Students should get a deeper understanding of the material covered in PHYS 303 (Analog and digital electronics) by experimentally verifying many of the concepts covered in that course. Students will also learn to recognize various components and develop confidence in using them.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: PHYS 303 and 303L A continuation of PHYS 303. Outcome: Students will gain an understanding of regulator and controlled rectifier circuits, modulation and detection, power amplifiers, active-filters, phase-locked loop, lock-in amplifier, and opto-electronic circuits.
