response and compensation
Design tools
Computer-aided analysis techniques are extensively used for working out design examples and homeworks. We will use free, industry-grade CAD tools like LTspice for circuit simulation and Python/Numpy or Matlab (student version) for system analysis.
Design Project
An extensive design project is integral part of the course. It will be assigned in the second half of the semester and can be completed while collaborating in groups of two or three students.
