ELEC 240 Lab
Introduction
Welcome to the ELEC 240 Lab, the real world companion to the ELEC 241 lectures.
The Grand Plan
We have a number of lofty goals for this lab. Our ultimate goal is the transmission and processing of information and our vehicle for that information will be the signal. Along the way we will study how signals carry information, how they arise in circuits and systems, how to characterize them, and how they interact with the components that make up information systems. Finally we will give you a chance to do what engineers do: to put it all together in the design, construction, and analysis of a biosignals measurement system.
The Laboratory Schedule
Here's what we have to do:
| Date | Laboratory |
|---|---|
| Week 3 | Lab 1: Basic Electrical Measurements |
| Week 4 | Lab 2: Signal Sources and Sinks |
| Week 5 | Lab 3: Passive Circuits |
| Week 6 | Lab 4: Active Circuits |
| Week 7 | Lab 5: Active Circuits, cont'd. |
| Week 8 | Lab 6: Signal Analysis and Characterization |
| Week 9 | Lab 7: Digital Signal Processing |
| Week 10 | Lab 8: Soldering Basics |
| Week 11 | Lab 9: Digital Logic Circuits |
| Week 12 | Lab 10: Bioelectrical Signals |
| Week 13 | Lab 10, cont'd. |
| Week 14 | NO CLASS - THANKSGIVING |
| Week 15 | Lab 10, cont'd. |
Lab Groups
In lab (and outside lab as well) you will work in a team of two people, and responsibilities should be shared among both members. Lab grades will be given on a per group basis, rather than individually.
