During the course a number of experiments will be run to bring home the concepts just discussed.

1) Broadband/narrowband signal

2) Capacitive coupling

3) Inductive coupling

4) Differential mode and common mode currents.

5) Harmonics form square waves.

6) Bypass capacitor

7) Inductance in leads and their effects on supply rails.

8) Shielding materials.
