| Summary | This course is an exercise in analogue circuit design. The exercise is to design and realise the circuitry to display a television signal as a picture on a standard oscilloscope.
The exercise is designed to use knowledge gained by students in the earlier years of their course and aims to act a "structured project" to act as an introduction to the more open ended type of final year project work carried out in the fourth and fifth years. Until this point in the course the students experience is largely of analysis of circuits supplied to them. In this exercise they are expected to synthesise their own designs and realise their own circuitry.
The exercise is assessed in three stages. Firstly the students are required to produce a report in the form of a service document aimed at a service technician who is required to fault-find their design. This necessitates a circuit diagram for their design along with a PCB layout diagram and a components list. A further requirement is a brief description of the circuit and its function. Secondly the quality of the picture displayed by the final design is assessed and marked. Assessment is based on the sharpness of the picture, the contrast, sync. stability and the ramp linearity. Thirdly the physical layout and construction of the circuit is assessed for neatness and logical organisation and finally the quality of the fabrication and construction of the PCB is assessed. The criteria used for assessing the exercise are described in an appendix to the manual that is issued to each participant.

Learning Outcomes
At the conclusion of the exercise the students should:
be able to design voltage amplifier, ramp generator and sync. pulse separator circuits.
be able to implement a multistage amplifier design which withstands the effects of inter-stage loading between successive stages.
be able to implement effective decoupling in a design.
be able to integrate a number of separate stages to implement a complete working system to a written specification.
be able to document a design that they have carried out.
be able to layout and implement a printed circuit board design.
