This is a list of the topics to be covered on the final exam for ECE 280 in the Summer, 2018 semester.

Coverage

  1. Everything from Test I and Test II
  2. 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. Note: if I give you a problem with a MOAT, there will be no other roots involved.
    • 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).


Specifically Not on the Test

  1. Maple
  2. MATLAB
  3. Items in lab that never appeared in homework
