This course is an introduction to analysis, modeling, design, and testing of analog electronic circuits in a practical laboratory setting. The laboratory is centered around a robot platform and includes design, Spice simulations, prototyping and testing of circuits necessary to drive and remote control the robot. The required prerequisite for ECEN 2830 is ECEN 2250 Introduction to Circuits & Electronics. The required co-requisite is ECEN 2260 Circuits as Systems. Experiments include:

• An introduction to prototyping, simulations and testing of analog circuits
• Speed measurement circuits and measurement and modeling of robot DC motor characteristics
• Electronic drives for robot DC motors and speed control circuits
• Robot speed and position control using a microcontroller
• Remote control using radio-frequency (RF) circuits
• Design project
