Pre-Lab Worksheets:
 
  (complete before lab and turn in at beginning of lab session)

  1. Transmission Lines
  2. Bipolar Transistor Amplifier
  3. Difference Amplifier (Worksheet questions are in Lab Writeup)
  4. Operational Amplifier I
  5. Johnson Noise (Worksheet questions are in Lab Writeup)
  6. Phase Detector (Worksheet questions are in Lab Writeup)
  7. Oscillators (Worksheet questions are in Lab Writeup)
  8. Digital Circuit
  9. Phase Locked Loop
  10. DAC and ADC
  11. Circuit Simulation: download and look over MultiSim lab hints below - bring to lab with you.  You can also get a copy of the timing diagram for the successive approximation A/D converter.
  12. FPGA: look over the experiment writeup and optionally some of the reference material under "Altera" below.  If you want, you can get your own copy of the software from http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=593&PartNo=4 (download the CD-rom) and the Quartus II Web Edition FPGA system here: http://dl.altera.com/?edition=web
