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

In many instances, thedistribution of ratings for two sections were very similar (typically for the traditional lecture andhybrid sections) so the proportions were pooled and compared to the other section.

Hence, the hostconnection limits the maximum bandwidth to 20MHz of complex sampled I/Q data.Mid-Range SystemsMid-range systems, as with the full-featured systems, generally function as transceivers, withfairly wide sampling rates and spectral bands. However, these devices offer fewer choices interms of RF frontend configurations and host interfaces. Furthermore, mid-range systems relymore on host processing and do not offer stand-alone systems. However, these devices still offerimpressive SDR functionality and are fully compatible with the same tools as their moreexpensive counterparts at a

’s two-sided of view of SoC design may have some drawbacks: Giventhe number of comments expressing frustration over certain aspects of the design, there may be arisk that the course discouraged some students from pursuing further study or employment inSoC work. If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future. I believe, however, that as I gain more experience teaching this course andaccumulate more sample projects and Zybo tutorials, students’ perceived experience willimprove.

pN-3 … p0. The digital DDFSuses the MSB (i.e., pN-1) as the square wave output. One interpretation is to treat the pN-1 bit as asignal that divides the output period into two equal parts (i.e., two equal phases). The values of 0and 1 are assigned to the two phases, respectively. It is possible to assign multi-bit values, suchas 2 and 7, for the amplitude, and the output wave will oscillate between 2 and 7 instead. Similarly, if two MSBs (i.e., pN-1 pN-2) are considered, the same period is divided into fourphases. Different values can be assigned to the four phases. The same concept can be extendedto S MSBs, which leads to 2S phases in a period. A phase-to-amplitude lookup table with 2Sentries can be created to define the shape of the
