Analog Electronics (15 cr)

Objective

Students will be able to design and implement the most common amplifier circuits using both transistors and operational amplifiers. The student is able to measure both the amplitude and phase response of a linear circuit. The student understands the operation of linear and nonlinear regulators. Students are able to analyze the operation of most common A/D and D/A- converters. The student is able to design and realize multiorder filters and simple oscillator circuits. The student understands the principles of electronic measurements and is able to operate most common measurement equipment. The student is able to analyze measurement results and the error margins. The student understands the frequency domain representation of signals and is able to work with the integral transformations.
