== Coverage ==
While the test is, by nature, cumulative, there will be certain aspects of Biomedical Electronic Measurements which form the core of this test.  Specifically, topics from lectures 8-17.  More specifically, topics including, but not limited to, 

# Reactive elements (capacitors and inductors)
## Know the basic voltage/current relationships
## Know the continuity conditions
# DC steady-state analysis of reactive circuits
## Capacitors act like open circuits
## Inductors act like short circuits
# AC steady-state analysis of reactive circuits
## Phasor analysis for single-frequency sources
## Phasor analysis coupled with superposition for circuits with sources at different frequencies - you can either do each individual component of all the sources independently or group components by frequency.
# Impedance and transfer functions
# Filters
## Be able to determine filter type by transfer function
## 1st order filters
### Determine cutoff frequency (half-power or -3dB frequency) and filter type
### Be able to determine filter type given a circuit '''or''' design a circuit given a filter type.  This type of question would be limited to voltage-to-voltage filters
## 2nd order filters
### Be able to determine filter type given a circuit
### For high-pass or low-pass filters, be able to determine cutoff (half-power) frequencies
### For band-pass filters, be able to determine bandwidth, quality, damping ratio, cutoff frequencies, logarithmic center frequency, and linear center frequency
### For band-reject filters,  be able to determine quality, damping ratio, cut-on frequencies, logarithmic center frequency, and linear center frequency
### Be able to design a band-pass or band-reject filter given sufficient information (some combination of bandwidth, quality, damping ratio, cutoff/cuton frequencies, logarithmic center frequency, and linear center frequency.  You will '''not''' be asked to build anything that requires more than three components.
# Bode plots
## Be able to sketch Bode magnitude plot approximation for multiple zero/pole system '''assuming''' poles and zeros are at least a decade away from each other (i.e. no tricky cases)
## Be able to interpret Bode magnitude plot with respect to bandwidth, quality, damping ratio, cutoff/cut-on frequencies, logarithmic center frequency, and linear center frequency
# DC Step response of 1st order circuit
## Determine initial conditions using continuity requirements
## Determine differential equation using time or frequency techniques
## Determine solution to 1st order differential equations with constant forcing functions
## Accurately sketch solution to 1st order differential equations with constant forcing functions including slopes at time constants
# Higher order circuits
## Determine transfer functions between a source and an output
## Determine differential equation using time or frequency techniques
