ECE 1050 Lab M3:
- Download the lab handout here: (PDF Download PDF)
- There is no pre-lab, but you are free to get an early start if you feel comfortable. All you will need is access to MATLAB.
Overview: In this lab you will:
- Learn how to create and manipulate matrices/vectors in MATLAB.
- Learn the difference between a continuous and quantized waveform.
- Experience truncation error.
- Use the node-voltage method to model a simple circuit.
- Solve a matrix equation for a 2-bit D/A converter circuit.
DUE: Scan the Lab PDF with your name and the blanks filled in. Turn in a screen shot of any figures you generate as well as your source code. Labs are due the next time you attend lab, so this lab is due when you attend Lab 4.
