\section{Introduction}
|
|
In this lab, we investigate the response of a circuit (seen in figure
|
|
\ref{img:circuit_diagram}) to different sinusoidal signals. We apply
|
|
both symbolic analysis and numeric analysis (simulation) to affirm
|
|
that this causal LTI system will always generate a sinusoidal response
|
|
of the same frequency as that provided to it.

\subsection{A complaint}
|
|
Cut the standard lab format. I wrote this as a complaint before I
|
|
really started working on this lab.
|
|
|
|
I'm going to be frank with you:
|
|
|
|
Completing these labs is painful.
|
|
|
|
The lab description itself is 16 pages long.
|
|
|
|
Every part of the lab reads the same way a 4'' paintbrush dunked in a
|
|
bucket of red paint and splattered across a wall looks.
|
|
|
|
The writer gives a thousand times more information than you need, and
|
|
instructs you to do things .... a million things.
|
|
|
|
And then, at the end of the lab, a description of what you're actually
|
|
supposed to submit is given. The two are so loosely connected ... it
|
|
means there is no one good strategy to break things down and start
|
|
working. You just have to keep reading and re-reading, looking for
|
|
parts or aspects you haven't covered, and then you have to sew all
|
|
those harvested organs of incomplete understanding into a cadaver,
|
|
packing dozens of lungs, livers and kidneys in however they'll fit, as
|
|
though enough organs will bring a corpse to life.
|
|
|
|
I had a much better time understanding it, now that I'm re-reading the
|
|
whole thing very carefully and following the math being demonstrated,
|
|
but it's no wonder everyone hates these labs.
|
|
|
|
It's insanely punishing if you haven't read the lab before you start
|
|
doing the procedure.
|
|
|
|
Did I mention that the lab description (which contains the procedure)
|
|
isn't released until 15 minutes before the Lab section?
