400

A continuation of EEE 320 (Electronic Devices and Circuits I). Course emphasizes multistage and power amplifiers, active filters, oscillators, switches, and digital circuits. Circuits are analyzed in the context of frequency response, feedback, stability, power consumption, size, DC bias, etc. Prerequisite: EEE-320.

This course introduces students to a study of the theory and application of analog and digital communication systems. Discussion and comparison of common analog and digital modulation techniques, as well as wave characteristics, spectrum, filtering, bandwidth, channel capacity, multiplexing, and error control, are included. Brief introduction to random processes, noise, and performance analysis are also included. Associated laboratory illustrates theoretical principles using modulation equipment. Prerequisites: EEE-310 and EEE-320.

This course introduces students to digital signal processing. Special focus is placed on characteristics of discrete time signals, analysis of discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, z-transform, discrete convolution, discrete Fourier transform, Fast Fourier transform, classification of filter types, and FIR and IIR filter design. Prerequisites: CPE-210 and EGR-320.

Students will engage in a research project or an independent study in conjunction with a faculty member. Designed for engineering majors with an electrical engineering concentration who either plan on graduate level work or has a special interest in certain area of electrical engineering. This course has a cap of 2 credit hours and cannot be repeated except in case of a 1+1 arrangement (1 credit hour in one semester and another credit hour in another semester). Prerequisites: Sophomore standing and permission of the instructor.
