Entry requirements

30 credits in science/engineering including Electric Measuring Techniques. Electromagnetism I should have been attended. Parallel attendance of Transform Methods.

Learning outcomes

After a successfully completed course the student should be able to:

• analyse frequency behaviour of passive and active filters and use Bode diagrams,
• design amplifiers using OP amplifiers,
• use diodes and transistors in basic circuits,
• design combinational logic circuits and sequential circuits using flip-flops,
• use simulation software for analysis and design of electronic circuits.
