ECE 280/Fall 2021/Final

This page lists the topics covered on the final exam for ECE 280 Fall 2021. This will cover everything through Homework 9 and all lecture material. While there is no example final exam, there are sample tests for Dr. G at Test Bank.

Test II Coverage

1. Everything on Test 1
2. Everything on Test 2
3. Laplace Transforms
   • Understand that a Bilateral Laplace Transform is incomplete without its accompanying ROC or some statement that makes it possible to determine the correct ROC (i.e. "a causal signal..." or "a stable signal..."); the ROC for a Unilateral Laplace Transform is everything to the right of the right-most pole (if there is one) or the whole plane.
   • Be able to determine Laplace and Inverse Laplace Transforms using the tables; for Inverses this also means being able to do partial fraction expansion, including for repeated roots.
   • Know how to identify when a MOAT will be useful and how to get the coefficients for it.
   • Understand how the ROC relates to system stability and causality as well as signal sidedness.
   • Be able to determine a differential equation from a Laplace Transform-based transfer function and vice versa.
   • Be able to solve a differential equation with potentially non-zero initial conditions and potentially non-constant forcing functions.
   • Be able to set up equations for a circuit using Unilateral Laplace Transform-based impedances and source representations (and solve if relatively simple).
   • Be able to write transfer functions for inverting, reactive op-amp circuits
