    Engineering Small signal AC modeling for a boost converter with resistive losses

    I've attached my attempts at the solution and the actual question below. I believe the only issue I am having is I don't know how to get rid of "I" in both my final inductor and capacitor equations as the HW states I shouldn't have anything in term of I. I believe I need to put "I" in terms of...

    Engineering Textbook about motor control/field oriented control methods

    Hi guys I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation on a textbook to pick up on field oriented control, motor control, 3 phase control or modern motor control in general. Looking for a professional level text. I already have Electric Machinery Fundamentals by Chapman but looking for...

    Absorption in Indirect Bandgaps

    Hi guys I just wanted to make sure I was thinking about this the right way. So in indirect bandgap semiconductors absorption needs a phonon to assist the electron to the conduction band from the valence band because a photon has virtually no momentum and only contributes energy to the electron...

    How to acquire the math skills I need

    From what I've read on other similar questions to this is if you want to do theoretical physics definitely fit in a lot of math classes as general electives etc. if it isn't already included in the program (I can't give you specific classes to take hopefully someone else can clarify). If there...

    Graduate Programs Not Requiring the GRE Good or bad?

    MIT doesn't require the GRE for its EE program and that's one of the best programs in the country and then pretty much all the Ivy schools require the GRE. Its all based on the school's own views

    How much Quantum for nanoelectronics as an EE

    Hi I was wondering how much quantum mechanics I should fit into my curriculum in order to to do research with nanoelectronics and optoelectronics in the future? At the moment I am an undergraduate working on both a BE and ME in Electrical Engineering at the same time (special scholars program)...

    Programs How much does having a masters degree help for phd admission

    Hi I was wondering how much will having a masters degree actually help with getting into a PhD program? Is it sort of a minor boost or will it actually make me substantially stand out vs other candidates. If more specifics are needed I will have a BE in Electrical engineering and a Masters in...

    Quick questions regarding RoCs with Z transforms

    Hi I was wondering when there is only one pole for a function's z-transform then the RoC can only be either left or right sided not two sided and then two sided requires having two or more poles so you actually have an "inner" region to be between then? Or does the entire z-plane just not...

    Textbooks for various topics in math for scientists

    There are two courses specifically called math methods for scientists (grad level) that are offered in my school. I am doing a interdepartmental degree in microelectronics/solid state physics (Electrical Engineering/Materials Engineering/Physics) focused more on the physics side of it. I...

    Solid State Theory Walter A. Harrison Solutions?

    Hi I was recently picked up solid state theory by Walter A. Harrison. I was wondering if anyone happened to have a solution set to this book as the publisher site does not have one up. Harrison has solution sets for other books up on the publisher's site so I feel like this one should be out...
