EE 420L Engineering Electronics II Lab - Lab 1
Review of basic RC circuits 

 

Pre-lab work

 

 


For this first lab simulate, and verify the simulation results with experimental measurements, the circuits seen in Figs. 1.21, 1.22, and 1.24 (use a 1 uF cap in place of the 1 pF cap) of the book. Your results should be similar to, but more complete than, the simulation results seen on pages 17 - 23.  In your report, and for each circuit, show the

 
It's important for your report to be concise. The images should be large enough that the reader can see the information (e.g., the numbers on the axes of a plot) but not so large that the image contains a lot of space with no information. Don't be too verbose with the comments or algebra either. Long reports are rarely useful reports.
 
For the AC response seen in Fig. 1.23 generate a table showing some representative measurement results (frequency, magnitude, and phase). 

Show the lab TA how you are making these measurements. 

If you would like to include a plot of this measured data then using a plotting program, such as Excel, add the image to your report.

 

The Laboratory Report - 
 
Create the lab1.htm report in a folder also called lab1 in your CMOSedu account.
For example, for the user "jake", 
http://cmosedu.com/jbaker/courses/ee420L/s14/students/jake/
.

and, within the lab1 folder seen above, see: 
http://cmosedu.com/jbaker/courses/ee420L/s14/students/jake/lab1/
, the report will be, again, lab1.htm.
 
The figures will be generated using the snipping tool (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Snipping Tool)

after clicking on lab1.htm we get

Ensure that your html lab report includes your name, the date, and your email address at the beginning of the report (the top of the webpage).
When finished backup your work.
