... R1 = R2 = R AND C1 = C 2 = CBy forcing the values of R to be equal and the values of C to be equal, we can furthersimplify the equations for K and ωn. For example, Eq. 3 can be simplified to 1 1 ωn = 2 = (Eq. 6) ( RC ) RCBy using Eq. 6, we can now determine the -3db cutoff frequency for the filter. In order todetermine what the gain needs to be, we must introduce another variable. 1If we say that Q= 2ζ

Gilbert-cell based, double-balanced modulator/mixer (for example, NE602from Philips) 8,9 . For QPSK, an I/Q modulator module is used (for example, Mini-Circuits’ZFMIQ-10M). The modulated signal center frequency is at 10.7MHz. Students will learn differentaspects of modulation: • RF bandwidth - in the case of FM transmission, students are able to measure the bandwidth and verify Carson’s rule as stated in section II. • Relationship between carrier frequency and data rate - in the case of QPSK signaling, students can measure the RF bandwidth of the modulated signal, and relate the required bandwidth to data rate of the transmitted baseband signal. • Different means of transmission - for example, Double-Side-Band (DSB

Samecosts, different name to emphasize the lack of variability in the overhead cost as thenumber of students increase or decrease. The cost of the network, computer server,building, administrative costs, etc are a fixed value whether one student is being served ormany. By increasing the number of students, these costs do not increase, as do thevariable costs.Below is shown a general graph of these costs. Costs ($) are plotted on the vertical axisand the numbers of students per class (Q) are plotted on the horizontal axis. Fixed costs(FC) are a horizontal line at a level of the fixed costs.

The flowrate for water traveling through a horizontal300 m-long cast iron pipe with a diameter of 0.6 m and a pressure drop of 17.2 kPa is to befound. The energy equation (1) and equation (2) can be combined to give: Δp L V2 = f (4) γ D 2gwhere Δp is the upstream minus the downstream pressure, p1 – p2.

theopportunity to work together with faculty members on an exciting research project. Without thehonors program, this type of research might not have been offered to us until graduate school.”This was the first experience for the faculty to deal with honors students in a contract course.Both faculty members found the experience to be positive and rewarding. The students werehighly motivated and were able to conduct productive research with minimal time demands onthe faculty. The project also seemed to provide an excellent forum for enhancing the educationalexperience and producing the desired outcomes for undergraduate engineering students.Bibliogr aphic Infor mation 1.
