Electronic Circuits

Non-iedal effects in operational amplifiers and transistors, small signal analysis for transistor amplifiers, frequency-and signal level limitations, input-and output impedances. Passive and active filters, time-and frequency domain relations, phase locked loops, modulators and detectors. Micro controllers.
Laboratory: There will be given a semester project and 4 mandatory lab exercises, each running over 2 days of 6 hours.

The course will give students a thorough technical understanding of the electronic circuit and the introduction of the principles and use of electronic circuits used for signal transmission. It will act as a bridge between the system / signal aspect and the hardware in the form of circuits / components in the signal transmission systems. Laboratory exercises will provide examples of such components.

The course will enable students to

Knowledge:
- understand the non-ideal effects in operational amplifiers and transistors.
- understanding filters, both passive and active, and the time and frequency concept.
- calculate transfer functions, poles and zeros.
- understand the basic modulation techniques, such as amplitude, frequency and face modulation (AM, FM, PM, FSK, PSK).
- understand phase-locked loops - including voltage controlled oscillators and phase detectors.
- perform small signal analyses of transistors amplifiers, frequency and level limitations, input and output impedance.
- calculate the components of simple applications of phase-locked loops, modulators and detectors.
- have knowledge about the use of microcontrollers.
- have an overview of modern production methods.

Skills:
- combine previously acquired knowledge and skills in mathematics, circuit theory, circuit analysis and programming with new theory to solve practical problems in electronic circuits for signal transmission.
- perform measurements in the laboratory with equipment such as oscilloscopes, generators and power supplies, etc.
- soldering and troubleshooting circuits.

General knowledge:
- cooperating with other students to solve practical laboratory exercises.
- present the results of a project.

Lectures and laboratory exercises. The laboratory exercises are an integral part of the course and questions from this part will be included in the exam - on equal level as the theoretical part of the course. Each student shall write one laboratory report. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
