LEARNING THE BASICS OF ANALOGUE-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION - AN EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH

Artur Cardoso, Aurélio Campilho
Abstract:
This paper describes a set of computer-based experiments, based in LabVIEW, designed to help engineering students learn the basic concepts of analogue-to-digital conversion, such as quantization and sampling. The course was taken by Electrical and Computer Engineering students at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. A broader aim of this pedagogical experiment was to increase the students’ motivation and to increase their learning effectiveness.
