While preparing the laboratory report for each of the laboratory, provide the following sections, giving the
specific information for each section as explained below.

Cover Page: Provide all the necessary details about yourself in the cover page.

Table of Contents: Automatically Insert a Table of Contents in the second page

1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Brief Description of the Laboratory
Describe the objectives of the practical in this section, including the sequence of activities you
will undertake to accomplish the stated objectives
1.2 Required Apparatus/ Materials
List down all the materials, tools, components, devices and software requirements for the
laboratory under this subtopic. Provide the specification/ rating of each component
1.3 Circuit Diagrams
Prove the circuit topologies on how you intend to interconnect the apparatus and materials
during the practical. Briefly describe each diagram
1.4 Theory of Operation of the Various Components
In this section, provide answers to all the VIVA Questions in the laboratory manual
1.5 Expected Theoretical Results
Explain what kind of curves, plots, measurements or tabulated values do you intend to use as
inputs and what are the expected outputs
2. MATHEMATICAL MODELING
2.1 Model Equations
State or derive, the mathematical expression of your circuit that relates the input variables to
the output variables
2.2 Assumptions
Explain any assumptions you made while establishing the mathematical model of (2.1) above
2.3 Sample Data Inputs
Provide a table of randomly assumed input variables that can be used as inputs to the
mathematical model that you’ve stated above (in 2.1)
2.4 Extrapolated Results
Using the mathematical equation/ expression (2.1), compute the output values
2.5 Mathematical Model Results Analysis
Provide an in-depth analysis of the computed output variables that you’ve extrapolated in 2.4.
You can plot the assumed input variables vs computed output values to infer the relational
trends
3. COMPUTER SIMULATION
3.1 Set up of the Circuit in PSpice/ Proteus
Provide snapshots of the components as interconnected in the simulation software interface,
with a brief description of each snapshot
3.2 Simulation Data and Measurements
