ELEC-E3120 - Analysis and Design of Electronic Circuits, Lecture, 5.9.2024-5.12.2024

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

The student understands fundamental analysis methods related to circuit theory and is familiar with the basic components used in electrical circuits. The student can use and apply this knowledge to simple analog and digital circuits and can do simple simulations and measurements of these circuits. In addition, the student knows how the essentials of the circuit analysis and design are linked to large and complex electronic circuits and has the needed knowledge to continue studies in microelectronic circuit design or microwave engineering majors.
