Laboratory classes will commence from the week of September 9, 2013.
For the day and time of your lab section, refer to the schedule attached at the
end of this document. Laboratory practices will take place in rooms S-H
855.
For those who miss out a lab session due to personal reasons, a make-up
week would be made available towards the end of the semester. There
would be a lab exam after all the experiments are finished. The date of this
examination would be announced later. Laboratory manuals can be
purchased from Concordia Book store .
Tutorial:
Tutorial classes begin from the week of September 16, 2013, to help
students with the practice problems and other related problems.

Objective
To study the principles of operation, analysis, design, and frequency
response of analog electronic amplifiers and systems.
Brief Description of Topics
Lecture component

5. Output Stages and Power Amplifiers: Class A, B and AB amplifiers;
power conversion efficiency; biasing class AB amplifiers; various class AB
configurations; power BJT and MOS devices. (Suggestion: Read sections

sections 17.1-17.3 of ref. book #1)
Soft skill component (Skill type L: Life- long Learning)
(The following material will not be covered in the lectures. The students will
be required to study on their own. There will be one question related to the
following material in the final examination. It is obligatory that each student
answer this question.)
1. Introduction to Active filters and Tuned amplifiers: Filter transfer
functions; first and second order networks; second order active RC
filters; tuned amplifiers. (Suggestion: Read sections 16.2,16.4, 16.7,
16.11 of ref. book #1).
Practice Exercises: Please check my personal website (it is not MOODLE!) for the problem
sets. These are for your practice. Solutions/hints will be posted on my
website at a later time.

For the tutorial classes a list of problems will be provided in the website for
prior practice by the students.
(No make up test/quiz will be given. If a student cannot participate in any of
the items #1,2 above, he/she will be automatically graded according to the
scheme B noted below.
Scheme B
Final examination
75%
*** Each student will be given better of the two scores obtained under
schemes A and B, at the end of the Final Examination.***
3. Bonus assignment
Each student will be given an assignment (work at home) related to the
materials of Electronics-II and Electronics-I courses. There will be a
deadline for submission of the work. More details will be posted on the
personal website of the professor.
50% of the score in the bonus assignment (full score 10 marks) will be
added to the final score of the student before calculation of his/her letter
grade.

report from a student who took the course in a previous year or the present year. The code also
forbids you from providing the material to another student. If you allow another student to copy
your work you have behaved unethically and have committed an offence.
You are required to submit the "Expectations of Originality Form" with your
submissions. You will find the form at.

ELEC 312 lab schedule and related information
Location:
Lab will be held in H-855 starting the week of September 9. The regular session of the labs ends
on Friday, November 15.
Make-up:
Make-up sessions will be held during November 19-22.
Lab Exam:
A lab exam of 60 minutes duration will be held during November 26-29. This examination will
test your experimental skill and will be held in H855. PSPICE simulations are excluded from this
test. Efforts would be made to hold the exam at the same time when you usually do the labs. Oral
questions will also be asked during the lab test.
