the
student
who
is
unfamiliar
with
circuit
construction
in
mind.
For
those
students
who
are
familiar
with
circuit
construction,
completion
of
this
lab
will
still
be
beneficial.
A
summer
circuit
is
designed
using
a
/xA741
operational
amplifier
[Ref.
1].
The
circuit
provides
summation
of
two
signals
with
a
gain
of
two.
This
circuit
provides
for
the
demonstration
of
basic
circuit
construction
and
analysis.
Two
periodic
waveforms
are
applied
as
inputs
and
the
output
signal
is
analyzed.
The
input
and
output
signals
are
viewed
on
the
RAPIDS
oscilloscope
and
spectrum
analyzer
screens.
Signal
periods
and
amplitudes
are
measured.
The
student
is
able
to
exercise
Fourier
series
[Ref.
2]
and
Fourier
transform
[Ref.
3]
techniques
and
then
compare
the
results
to
the
RAPIDS
output.
Hard
copy
plots
from
the
RAPIDS
system
are
generated.
The
more
conventional
Tektronix
2445B
oscilloscope
is
also
introduced
in
an
effort
to
acquaint
the
student
with
more
common
equipment.
The
displayed
signal
on
the
T2445B
is
compared
to
that
displayed
on
the
RAPIDS
system
by
visualization
as
well
as
measurements.
This
demonstrates
the
differences
in
accuracy
and
friendliness
of
available
equipment.

LABORATORY
2:
SAMPLING
AND
ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL
CONVERSION
The
concepts
of
sampling,
filtering
and
analog-to-digital
(A-D)
conversion
are
explored
in
Laboratory
2.
An
LF198
sample
and
hold
chip
is
used
to
construct
the
circuit.
The
circuit
was
designed
using
the
National
Semiconductor
LF198A
specifications
for
a
typical
'Output
Holds
at
Average
of
Sampled
Input'
application.
A
logic
input
is
applied
as
the
sample
pulse
as
specified.
The
circuit
is
first
used
to
perform
natural
sampling
on
a
DC
signal.
A
DC
signal
was
chosen
so
the
voltage
level
could
be
modified
by
hand
during
the
sample
pulse.
When
the
circuit
is
not
in
sample
mode,
the
output
is
zero,
and
varying
the
DC
voltage
has
no
effect.
A
sine
wave
is
then
sampled
above,
at
and
below
Nyquist
rate
and
recovered
at
each
instance
using
a
60dB/decade
lowpass
Butterworth
filter
