AbstractThis paper presents coupling the use of the TINA circuit simulation software with theMathcad mathematical software. This coupling permits students to simply (1) enter a circuit inTINA diagramatically, (2) export its symbolic solution y(t), or its transfer function, Y(s), to aMathcad file, and (3) plot these solutions for multiple values of a parameter (e.g. R) on a 2-Dor 3-D graph. The symbolic
engineering students is difficult; most consider privacyissues enough to squash this idea. The alumni themselves are hard to find. ABET seems to sense the difficulty and our evaluators weresatisfied with our limited survey results.Criterion 3’s program outcomes are a different matter. These are the abilities that students are supposed to have on graduation fromyour program. For example, the a-k outcomes that ABET suggests for a computer science program are: Page 25.90.2a) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline;b) An ability to analyze a problem, and identify and define
controllers, and successfullypass the class. The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

multilevel signaling (8-PAM) scheme in system reduces the channel symbol rate to one third of that of a conventional 2-PAM transceiver. iii) This symbol rate reduction lowers both the intersymbol interference (ISI) in the channel and the maximum required on-chip clock frequency. iv) In the Data Transceiver System, the receiver oversamples with three fully differential 3-bit ADCs. The dataflow will transmit up to 1.3 Gb/s. v) The transmission will be tested, measured and analyzed according to bit error rate of pattern bit sequence transmission, to evaluate the performance of the prototype5.

are measuring digital signals. This is a violation of Nyquist’s first rule.Most scope vendors don’t specify their scope’s bandwidth at the Nyquist frequency (fN) – butsome do. However, it is very common for vendors of waveform recorders/digitizers to specifythe bandwidth of their instruments at the Nyquist frequency. Let’s now see what can happenwhen a scope’s bandwidth is the same as the Nyquist frequency (fN).Figure 4 shows an example of a 500-MHzbandwidth scope sampling at just 1 GSa/s whileoperating in a three- or four-channel mode.Although the fundamental frequency (clock rate)of the input signal is well within Nyquist’s criteria,the signal’s edges contain significant frequency Aliasingcomponents well
