monday was another ordinary day in university of southampton. there was a bit of monday blues...everyone seems to be tired and sleepy for some unknown reasons.
As the IC of the day, I have to say sorry because this post is really really late...anyway, monday was about advanced soldering practicals and more theories on AM and FM radio.
Soldering might be fun if this is the first time to try, yet it can become very challenging (sometimes frustrating as well) when the electric components become smaller and integrated circuits are involved. Probably the most exciting part today is the SMT (surface mount technology) capacitors. The SMT we are dealing with are 805which has surface area less than 50 mm^2. However, those SMT in the handphones, PDAs and other electronic devices are probably one quarter of this size...thank goodness machinery facturing is employed in soldering...though hand soldering is required when constructing prototype.
Amazingly the theory behind AM and FM radio coincides with our recent physics lecture on ocillation...anyway, waves transmitting radio signals are in simple harmonic oscillation. These theories, though far beyond A-level physics, are still pertinent to what we know and what we can apply.
Tuesday will be c programming...much more to look forward to
