Required course for EE.

Specific Goals - Student Learning Objectives (SLOs)
The student will be able to:

1. Produce useful incremental models for MOSFETs and BJTs at midband and high frequency.  
2. Derive the mathematical models for external parameters of four basic analog amplifier topologies (CE, CB, CC, and differential pair).  
3. Produce useful incremental models for broadband analog amplifiers in their midband, low-frequency, and high-frequency regions. 
4. Calculate, interpret and communicate the low-frequency and high-frequency response behaviors of broadband amplifiers using Bode plots and dominant pole approximations.  
5. Characterize the effects of midband negative feedback on broadband amplifiers at the system (block diagram) level.  
6. Identify and model the midband effects, including impedance modification, of series-series, shunt-shunt, shunt-series, and series-shunt negative feedback on broadband amplifiers.
