Pulse Techniques Laboratory
The Pulse Techniques Laboratory provides an advanced environment for studying the generation, shaping, and characterization of electrical pulses used in measurement, communication, and power‑electronics applications. The laboratory focuses on pulse‑forming networks, high‑speed switching devices, transient response analysis, signal propagation in transmission lines, and the behavior of circuits under rapid voltage and current variations. It supports both instructional and research activities aimed at understanding pulse‑generation principles, transient phenomena, and high‑frequency diagnostic methods, and the following equipment are available in this laboratory.
This laboratory is used simultaneously with the Circuit and Measurement Laboratory. The purpose of this course is to familiarize electrical engineering students, particularly those in the electronics, digital, and communications fields, with mixed and digital circuits. The main topics of the course include the study and design of filter circuits and multivibrators. In this laboratory, students learn practical skills in working with various waveforms and become familiar with applied circuits such as Schmitt triggers and different types of oscillators. In the initial experiments, filters and their review (resistor–capacitor filters) and the application of amplifiers are examined. In the second part, the design of multivibrator circuits is undertaken, and finally, students are introduced to several practical circuits, including generators and voltage regulators.
a) One oscilloscope
b) One DC power supply
c) DC function generator
d) Benchtop digital multimeter
e) Handheld digital multimeter
f) Analog multimeter
g) Inductor and capacitor set
h) Resistor set
i) Wheatstone bridge
Breadboards, connecting cables, and the necessary tools for circuit assembly are also provided. Moreover, to enhance students’ ability to identify and distinguish electronic components, all components are organized in dedicated labeled boxes from which students can select the required parts based on each experiment. In summary, the following instruments and equipment are available to students in this laboratory.
