General AptitudeCovered
Verbal aptitude · Quantitative aptitude · Analytical aptitude · Spatial aptitude
Here: Aptitude: quantitative, Aptitude: logical reasoning, Aptitude: verbal ability
The same arithmetic, reasoning and verbal work as a placement paper, so it is the shared-rounds topics rather than anything examination-specific.
1. Engineering MathematicsPartly covered
Linear Algebra · Calculus · Differential Equations · Vector Analysis · Complex Analysis · Probability and Statistics
Here: Mathematics for Machine Learning, Probability & Random Variables, Operations on Random Variables, Vector Calculus and the Static Electric Field
Not here: Differential Equations · Complex Analysis
The mathematics module was written for machine learning, and its linear algebra and calculus are the same mathematics; the probability topics are from the Electronics course that owns them. Vector analysis is taught where it is used, in the first electromagnetics topic, rather than as a mathematics course of its own.
2. Networks, Signals and SystemsPartly covered
Circuit Analysis · Time and frequency domain analysis of linear circuits · LTI systems · Continuous-time Signals · Discrete-time Signals
Here: Circuit Analysis, The DFT & Fast Fourier Transform, IIR Filter Design & Realization, FIR Filter Design & Realization, Linear Systems with Random Inputs
Not here: LTI systems · Continuous-time Signals
Part 60 closed the networks half of this section, which was the largest hole in the mapping: node and mesh analysis, the theorems, steady state, the Laplace treatment of transients and two-port descriptions are all here now. What is left is signals and systems, which is a third subject rather than part of either half beside it, and it is named here rather than folded into circuit analysis.
3. Electronic DevicesPartly covered
Formation of energy bands in solids and in semiconductors · Carrier Transport · P-N junction, Zener diode, BJT, MOS capacitor, MOSFET, scaling in MOSFETs, LED, photo diode and solar cell
Here: MOS Device Physics & Modelling
Not here: Formation of energy bands in solids and in semiconductors · Carrier Transport · P-N junction, Zener diode, LED, photo diode and solar cell
The MOS half is covered by the device-physics topic in the integrated-circuit design option. The semiconductor physics before it is not here.
4. Analog CircuitsPartly covered
Diode Circuits · BJT and MOSFET Amplifiers · Op-amp Circuits
Here: BJT Biasing & Amplifiers, JFET Biasing & Amplifiers, Multistage & High-Frequency Amplifiers, Negative Feedback Amplifiers, Oscillators & Power Amplifiers, The Operational Amplifier, Op-Amp Applications, Single Stage Amplifiers & Current Mirrors, Differential Amplifiers & Op-Amps
Not here: Diode Circuits
5. Digital CircuitsCovered
Number Representations and combinatorial circuits · Sequential Circuits · Data Converters · Semiconductor Memories · Computer Organization
Here: Logic Simplification & Realization, Combinational Design, Sequential Logic Design, 555 Timer, Voltage Regulators & Data Converters, Logic Families, Combinational, Sequential Circuits & Memories, Data Representation & Computer Arithmetic, Basic Computer Organization & Control, CPU & Input-Output Organization, Memory Organization
6. Control SystemsCovered
Basic components, feedback principle, transfer function, block diagram, signal flow graph · Transient and steady-state analysis of LTI systems · Frequency response; Routh-Hurwitz and Nyquist stability criteria; Bode and root-locus plots · Compensators, PID controller · State variable model and solution of state equation of LTI systems
Here: Control Fundamentals & Modelling, Time Response Analysis, Stability & Root Locus, Frequency Response Analysis, State Space Analysis
7. CommunicationsPartly covered
Random Processes · Analog Communications · Information Theory · Digital Communications
Here: Stochastic Processes: Temporal & Spectral, Noise, Amplitude Modulation, Angle Modulation, Pulse Analog & Pulse Digital Modulation, Information Theory & Source Coding, Digital Modulation Techniques, Detection: Correlation & Matched Filter Receivers
Not here: Fundamentals of error correction, Hamming codes, CRC
The information-theory topic introduces error control coding; the named codes the paper asks for are not taught anywhere here, so they are listed as missing rather than counted.
8. ElectromagneticsCovered
Maxwell's Equations · Plane Waves and Properties · Transmission Lines
Here: Electromagnetics and Transmission Lines, Antenna Basics & Parameters, Antenna Analysis: Dipoles & Loops, Antenna Arrays, Wave Propagation, Optical Fiber Waveguides
Part 60 built this section: the four equations, the plane wave and what it does at an interface, the transmission line through to the Smith chart and scattering parameters, and the waveguide. The antenna and optical-fibre lines at the end of the section were already covered by the antennas course and the fibre-optics option, and those pick up exactly where the wave topic stops.
