The experiment involved Circuit Theory II and Electronics I, two core lecture courses in both the electrical engineering and the computer engineering curricula, which are normally taken concurrently. The basic approach to Electronics I was altered from a strict lecture format, with introductory material on solid-state electronics, two- and three-terminal solid-state devices, and basic electronic circuits, to a combination lecture/discussion/laboratory/design-and experience. In Electronics I, we placed emphasis on review and assimilation of topics covered in previous courses, as well as topics covered concurrently in the Circuit Theory II course. We used a \"discovery\" approach to the presentation of the subject matter, and we formed an imaginary company, with each student being both an engineer and a middle-level manager. Our company's goal was to produce a regulated dual-tracking power supply, which provided the vehicle for applying the basic subject matter of Electronics I. In addition, we addressed issues in scheduling, human resources, purchasing, procurement, financial management, marketing, customer/design-team interaction, public relations, publicity, intracompany communications, technical writing, engineering design, fabrication, manufacturing, CAD, graphics arts, test and measurement, and quality assurance. We present a brief summary of the experience.","PeriodicalId":124893,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Sensing, Processing, Networking.

Specifically, we deal with the situation where the timing offsets of each sampling instance are known and have a periodic structure. Examples include the random equivalent time sampling system of a digital scope, and an ultra high speed waveform digitizing system with interleaved A/D converters. An algorithm which allows one to reconstruct the digital spectrum perfectly is derived, and a numerical example is presented. The algorithm is non-iterative and precise, and should prove to be useful in many applications.","PeriodicalId":124893,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Sensing, Processing, Networking.

However, if the signal, once amplified, must be single ended, then in amplifiers and some multiplexers it may be better to have a floating capacitor with single-ended output whilst in demodulators a floating capacitor with differential output yields a better CMRR.","PeriodicalId":124893,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference Sensing, Processing, Networking.
