List of Experiments:
All experiments (wherever applicable) should be performed through the following steps.
Step 1: Circuit should be designed/drafted on paper.
Step 2: The designed/drafted circuit should be simulated using Simulation Software
Step 3: The designed/drafted circuit should be tested on the bread board and compare the results with
the simulated results.
Step 4: The bread board circuit should be fabricated on PCB by one batch using PCB machine.
