Design and construction of a signal generation and signal processing analog training system

Abstract

Virtually any electronic circuit will be found to consist of a number of distinct stages or 'building blocks' if it is carefully analysed. This is usually quite obvious when examining a digital circuit, but is equally true (if less obvious) in relation to analog designs. Rather than gates, flip-flops and the like, analog circuits are usually comprised of filters. amplifiers, oscillators, multivibrators, etc. The aim of this project is the design and construction of a complete educational package consisting of; A- A hardware module to enable the rapid and easy construction of a large number of signal generating and processing circuit blocks. B- A software tutorial to guide the user through circuit theory and construction.
