Course content

Electronic circuit elements: Passive circuits. Semiconductors. Active circuits, with amplifiers. Digital circuits.

Laboratory in circuit techniques: Construction and testing of selected circuits.

Computer laboratory: Simulation and testing of circuits with computer programs (PSpice).

Learning outcome

The course will prepare students to use and design electronic curcuits, primarily oriented towards measurements and solving measurement problems. The students will learn to build and analyze passive circuits with regard to time and frequency response by using complex calculus. The students will learn to build and analyze active electronic circuits that consist of operational amplifiers and transistors, as well as analyzing these by means of numerical tools. The students will learn how to build electronic circuits for practical purposes in the laboratory, and will acquire knowledge of analogue and digital/logical circuits, as well as the structure of microcontrollers.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and associated mandatory exercises. Mandatory laboratory exercises. Expected workload in the course is 225 hours.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Further on evaluation

Assessment in this course includes a final exam (50%) and exercises (50%) (lab project, that may represent the compulsory bachelor project on the study program MLREAL). Both parts must be passed. The grade is given in passed/not passed.

The first calculation exercise is mandatory.

Permitted examination support material:

  • Single or Bi-lingual dictionary permitted
  • All calculators permitted
  • 1 side of an A5 sheet with printed or handwritten formulas.

The re-sit examination (in August) may be changed from written to oral. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments in the portfolio must be re-taken.

Required previous knowledge

Introductory physics and mathematics.
