Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

In this course, the student gets to know some fundamental analysis methods and basic components used in electrical circuits (from basic components to several blocks of electronic system such as data converters). The student finds a link between theory and practical measurements. The student can practise these skills also in other courses to strengthen knowledge on electrical circuits.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Short introduction to fundamental analysis methods and basic components used in electrical circuits, e.g., AC analysis of components, transistors, filters and operational amplifiers. Then the course builds up on several circuit used in electronic systems, such as data converters. Lab demonstrations.

Assessment Methods and Criteria
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    There is no final exam, but the evaluation is made by earning points for every activity. Grades are calculated regarding the number of points accumulated during the whole course: Exercises, assignments on hands-on work, and simulation assignments.

Workload
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures, Exercises and Hands-on exercises about 60 h
    Independent work 70 h: Reading material, independent exercise assignments and simulation assignments using the Kicad software
