Abstract

Many research papers include analysis of operation of different circuits and systems, but not enough information is available in relation to sensitivity of circuits and/or systems to component tolerances or to environmental changes. The component parameter changes could be critical not only to maintain desired circuit or system parameters, but they can affect electromagnetic compatibility of components and circuits in modern electronic systems creates additional problems related to interference among the circuits when some conditions imposed by corresponding standards. These concepts are introduced in our course on “Electromagnetism” at the graduate level. Large concentration of components and circuits in modern electronic systems creates additional problems related to interference among the circuits when some parts of the signals produced by the circuits could transfer themselves to the other circuits, especially when the speed and/or magnitudes of these signals exceeds certain limits. The circuits chosen to be analyzed generated periodic pulses of various frequencies and shapes to show how the signal harmonics could be affected. Tolerances of the circuit components were also included. In addition to the circuits the tolerances of some connecting cables were also considered in order to observe how the signal integrity could change and how this affected the circuit performance. The circuits selected were parts of larger systems like different types of signal generators, including pulse generators. Internal and external interference problems were considered, since the required external signals produced by such circuits should be transferred correctly without interference in operation of other circuits or systems. Details of our course and the experiments and simulations done to emphasize the above are presented in the full paper.
