No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1968–69; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Thermionic emission. Wacuum diode, triode and pentode. The idealized diode, rectifiers and filters. The four-pole representation of networks, vacuum tubes and transistors. Amplifier properties of four-pole networks. Transistor biasing and stability. Large signal amplifiers. 2 lectures, 1 hour tutorial, 3 hours laboratory alternate weeks, one term.
As printed in the 1967–68 to 1968–69 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
