ECE 3183: Linear ECE Systems


This page is continually reinventing itself and you should expect it to change


Exegesis

ECE3183 is a one-semester survey course in the aspect of systems associated with linear electrical circuits.  It is directed toward the language skills and context  necessary to address the technology and craft of this environment.

Policies, syllabus, and protocols:

The course will follow a typical roadmap of milestones and subdivisions, with a relatively strong emphasis on homework as a factor for skills development.  Therefore in order to accomplish these skill factors most efficiently and effectively you need to adopt the designated protocols and requirements specified by the course guidelines and directives.  The syllabus with roughly track the textbook context and it is recommended that you invest in the reading assignments.  But the textbook also has its shortcomings.  Many shortcuts and techniques with much less overhead will be covered in the classroom.   So if you should have need to miss a class, be sure and contact a friend to take good notes in your behalf and in your absence.

Personal Communication Devices:

Please turn off all personal communication devices (cell phones, pagers, Bluetooth/ Zigbee accessories) before coming into this classroom.  It is disrespectful to your classmates and these devices to be active during class and I will regard such disregard as a discourtesy sufficient to merit penalties.

Mississippi State University Honor Code

“As a Mississippi State University student I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do.”

Supplementals:

  1. Common units prefixes These prefixes are necessary to describe electrical (and other) quantities. They range from electronic circuits associated with microelectronic systems to those associated with massive power grids and industrial furnaces.
  2. Radio frequency (RF) spectrum.  Ranges from the ELF band (3-30Hz) to the EHF band (30-300 GHz).  Applications are mostly associated with communication.

Epiphanies

  1. Solution sets (to exercises or other items)
  2. Old quizzes (no solutions and do not ask for any)
  3. Quiz solutions (posted afterward)
