linear applications because they believe that the gainsthat can be realized by MOSFET amplifiers are too low to bother with. 3,4 However, if they arecarefully biased and utilized at frequencies below 100KHz, gains from a MOSFET amplifier canpractically approach 50 while offering much higher input impedances, as mentioned above. Thisis possible because the gain parameter of a MOSFET, its transconductance (yfs), is a function ofits bias point (Q point). In contrast, the current gain function of a BJT (hFE) is approximatelyconstant over most its range of bias points, relative to a MOSFET.Practical MOSFET Amplifier DesignProblem Definition and Design ConstraintsGiven a specific input voltage (Vi = 50mVp which is the approximate output amplitude of

(ECDH), digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), and integrated encryptionscheme (ECIES) are placed. In all of these security protocols which are standardized by severalnational and international organizations, the main computation is point multiplication. Theelliptic curve point multiplication is defined as Q = k.P, where k is a positive integer, and Q andP are two points on the elliptic curve. The efficiency of computing point multiplication dependson finding the minimum number of steps to reach Q from a given point P.Some of the educational goals in this step were (a) understanding the implementation platforms(commonly referred to as hardware [ASIC/FPGA] or software platforms [microcontrollers])through which the overheads were derived, (b) soft

the inconsistent results for theresonant frequency and Q-factor measurements with respect to theoretical predictions, as somehidden circuit features are not considered at first. The “trick and think” approach describedabove in this contribution addresses measurements in the time domain, where perhaps thedisparity between underdamped and overdamped response offers a more dramatic and immediatevisual effect.

Data types included in the high rate dataare the in-phase accumulation (I), quadrature accumulation (Q), and phase. The fullspecifications and characteristics of CASES receiver are described in detail in [10].Amongst other outputs, the CASES receiver provides the ability to obtain raw GNSS data (e.g., Page 26.819.6L1, L2 phase observables and range observables) and also data for accessing atmospheric effects(e.g. TEC, individual channel carrier to noise power ( C / N 0 ), amplitude scintillation index ( S 4

They received a pre-test beforeand a post-test after each workshop. Please refer to Appendix A for the test items. Tests resultswere analyzed by comparing students’ performance before and after taking the workshop todetermine learning gains. Our quantitative variables were the Score Gain (SG), defined as themean difference between scores on each question, and the Average Normalized Gain (NG),defined as: 𝑁𝐺 = 𝑆𝐺/(𝑄 − 𝑝𝑟𝑒), were Q is the question value and pre is the
