  Do +8.1, 8.2, D8.10, +D8.20, 8.21
  and for 8.21, If R1 = 1 k, what must
  R2 be to achieve the specified preformance?
 
  Hint on +D8.20: Use Mathcad or Matlab to make
  plots. With feedback slopes are not
  necessarily ±20 dB/decade.
 
  Hint on 8.21. Although the amplifier is
  "ideal," the author of the problem intends it
  to have finite forward gain, A.
 
  Note errata on page 797.
 
  On Wednesday, 4/15, Problem 8.21 was

  In 5.88 and 5.89 note that "efficacy" is the
  ability to produce intended results regardless
  of cost. Look up the base word, "effective"
  in a dictionary if needed. In other words,

  "efficiency."

Note 1) Discussion in class is an inportant part of working the assignments. Students must be prepared to discuss the assignments starting with the class following the "Assigned" date.

Note 2) The text includes "Excercises" embedded throughout the reading assignments and "Problems" at the end of each chapter. All the assignments refer to "Problems" at the end of the chapter unless they are prefixed with "Ex". Example: Ex1.5 is found on page 10 but 1.5 is found on page 51.

Note 3) A "+" mark in front of the problem number means an answer is given in the text, in Appendix H.

Note 4) The letter "D" in front of a problem number indicates a design oriented problem. The student may need to use some judgement in undertanding what the problem statement is requesting. (Ask Prof. De Boer if you are in doubt.)

Note 5) Asterisks (*) indicate more difficult or more time-consuming problems (in the authors' judgement). The more asterisks, the more difficult.

Note 6) Homework solutions are usually available one or two class periods after the due date. Click the "returned date" on this page to access the solutions. If the "Returned" date is not a link (is black, not gold) then the solution is not yet posted. Check back later.

Note 7) Problem sets shown above with no "Assigned" date are tentative. More problems might be added, expected due dates might change, but problems shown will eventually be assigned.

Note 8) If a link brings you to a login page use your Dordt College Groupwise username and password. If this brings you to the opening page of courses@dordt instead of the resource you wanted, click your browser's back arrow twice to return to the link on this page, then click the link again. Now that you are signed in the link will work properly.

Note 9) If you are having difficulty reading the latest version of this page it may have to do with your browser's cached memory. Read this note on cached pages to solve the problem.
