Untitled document
  The student should be able to:
     1. state the characteristics of and identify a PN junction.
     2. classify the common power supply diode circuits.
     3. compare the characteristics of power supply filter types.
     4. compute power supply performance in terms of percent of
        ripple and regulation.
     5. calculate component values necessary to construct a common
        emmitter, common base, and common collector amplifier.
     6. calculate amplifier performance in terms of gain, phase and
        bandwidth, and compare to actual measured values.
