Looks like you filled out the equation correctly - just have to 'plug-n-chug'. I get 26dB.

who am i - I have done some part-time stuff during my school coarse-work. I wasn't paid like an engineer, but I was definitely doing sustaining 'engineering' work, but I had been with the company a long time as a coop student. There are many people that I work with in aerospace that work...

I know when I went to CC for EE that I just took the required courses for the school I was going to transfer to. You can end up taking a lot of unneeded music classes and junk like that if you go for a AS in a community college. I'd go get the course flowchart from the University that you plan...

Thanks uart and yungman - The data you gave on both the early and thermal voltages is very useful. I understand that ro is very large, and with small output resistances, relative to ro I understand that it is not much of a concern unless you have large output resistances.

Having your institution classify you as electrical engineering while you're in your freshman / sophomore year is okay, as usually you take all of the same classes. Your junior / senior year is when you start to take more computer engineering type classes such as embedded, DSP, etc. As you get...

A couple questions: I'm in the process of making some small amplifiers and using bjt's in the small signal realm. I have used bjt's as switches for quite a while, so I am quite familiar with their basic operation. I was reviewing small signal analysis trying to refresh my memory about how...

Note that: ∫e^(-t(x+jy))*dt ≠ e^(-t(x+jy)) + C Use u-substitution to come to the correct answer This helped jog my memory: http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcTwoDIRECTORY/usubdirectory/USubstitution.html

http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ People are retiring in 15 years all the time these days. Early retirement is actually a pretty big movement right now. It's better to have a goal than to work for the man your whole life and retire when you're about to die. So I miss my goal by 5 years and I...

Thanks for the replies... Marcusl - Unfortunately moving to a higher cost of living area is out of the question for me (I'd like to be able to retire in 15 short years (at 45) - not that I will retire, but I would like to have the option). I wouldn't be opposed to working in consumer...

Can you post your equations? I was able to get 4.5V using voltage divider, KCL, and ohms law (x2). I really just started writing equations until something popped out at me - then I had an idea where to go!

I agree with Gneill - Your equations are a bit off - I think you mean: V1: V1 = 6V V2: V2 = 16V V3: 0 = V2 / 1.5k - V1 / 1.5k + V2 / 1.0k + V2 / 3.3k - V3 / 3.3k V4: 0 = V3 / 3.3k - V2 / 3.3k + V3 / 4.7k + V3 / 2.2k - V4 / 2.2k Note that using the node voltage method used Kirchov's...

This is my first post! Just found this forum - and I'm diggin it... A little background: I'm 30 living in Denver, CO. I have worked in aerospace since my senior year of high school. I was brought on at my current company (large aerospace company) as a 'analog design engineer' which is...
