    Simple transfer function - algebra giving me problems

    I misread the problem - apologies - the transfer function for a Non inverting amplifer is in the form \frac{Z_1(s) + Z_2(s)}{Z_1(s)} - now i get the right answer

    Simple transfer function - algebra giving me problems

    Homework Statement Find a transfer function: \frac{V_o(s)}{V_i(s)} = \frac{Z_2 (s)}{-Z_1(s)} Homework Equations Z_1(s) = R_1 + \frac{1}{C_1s} Z_2(s) = \frac {\frac{R_2}{C_2s}}{R_2 + \frac{1}{C_2s}}final solution should be: G(s) = \frac{V_o(s)}{V_i(s)} = \frac{C_1C_2R_1R_2s^2 + (C_2R_2 +...

    Advice needed on designing an electronic car finder

    Re: Berkeman Hi berkeman - this is a design course we take just before we start our thesis. I have to a couple of 3rd/4th year professional electives to take before i can worry about that. i've done control, currently doing analog electronics. I'm a dual degree that's why i have some courses...

    Does anyone know of a good RF electronics book?

    i'm afraid i wasn't aware of all these regulations for transmission. I was planning on designing an electronic car finder and was researching how we could transmit a signal specific to each car and have it send data such as - distance from the car finder circuit that's attached to a key chain. I...

    Books containing several common place EE designs

    I'm looking for a book that has a collection of ELECTRONIC design varying from transistor amplifiers and other such circuits that we should be able to learn from for a design perspective. Any help?

    Does anyone know of a good RF electronics book?

    I need to design a radio wave transmitter that transmit a specific code and a receiver that will only receive this code. what would be the best book to look into as a crash course for designing this?

    Advice needed on designing an electronic car finder

    what concepts should i look into for radio wave transmission and reception? Does it fall under RF electronics? Also where can i find resources for designing a radio wave transmitter - that transmits a signal - such as a code - and when the receiver receives the signal - relays a code back...

    Advice needed on designing an electronic car finder

    ideas for EE design project Me and my partner are currently looking for ideas we can implement in a 10-12 week period. Some ideas we chose from our lecturers list are * car finder - when you can't find your car in the parking lot. * audio delay system - for movies that may have a...

    Programs Choosing a major physics versus EE

    Believe me - EE gets harder every year with industry demands. Depending on which college you go to EE may make or BREAK you. Its not for the light hearted and its not something you should pick because it may be 'easier'. There's no easy path through college and I honestly think EE has got to be...

    What is your average daily study time?

    around 5 hrs a day on weekdays full day 9-12; 1-6 on weekends not having a social life/ not having family/friends time or having hobbies is a small sacrifice for double majoring in Comp E and EE. Edit : that's excluding classes
