Course Outline:

Students will learn about digital sampling techniques to perform analog parametric testing, including frequency response, harmonic and inter-modulation distortion, and noise behavior of mixed-signal circuits and systems. This will be applied to analog, sampled-data, RF and High-Speed digital channels. DSP-basics, such as sampling, windowing and frequency transforms (DFT and FFT) will be described. Coherent versus non-coherent type measurements will also be discussed, as well as the M/N sampling principle. Test interfacing will also be described in terms of how to build a printed circuit board for test purposes. Students will work with an advanced mixed-signal production tester (Teradyne Flex) and a National Instruments myDAQ mixed-signal instrument.
