Projects : Laboratory assignments (7 this semester)
will be assigned during the semester,
that are based on experimentally measured results.
The projects will sometimes include computer simulation problems using SPICE.
You must use the EKV model available in SPICE; other models will not be acceptable.
Other models will often give incorrect results.
MATLAB: We will use the computer program MATLAB for analyzing data;
therefore your projects will require a simple understanding of MATLAB.
We will use only a small fraction of MATLAB's capability in this class.
Final Projects :
The final project, which will be performed in small groups (i.e. 2 or 3), will involve the analysis, design, and testing of moderate dynamical systems. Some examples would include
- Continuous-time adaptive filters
- Continuous-time Sigma Delta converters
- Phase-locked loops
- Models of Chemical Equations
- Adaptive-Q control for cochlear implants
- Chaotic circuits
- Action potential modeling using biological channels
- Modeling biological dendrites
