Entry requirements

Measuring Techniques, Electronics I (1TE624), Waves and Optics. Electromagnetism II is recommended.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to

• assess the effect of electric and mechanical limitations of different discrete and active circuits that are used within the electronics industry of today
• make a schematic capture drawing of different electronic designs in an advanced ECAD-system
• assess how to satisfy noise - and reflection requirements for the signal lines between the components on a circuit board

Content

Knowledge:

Strong and weak sides regarding electric disturbances (EMC) and heat.

EMC-teori:

Disturbance sources and methods to limit disturbances from own and external generated noise (adaptations that should be made on signal lines and effect feeding and thermal considerations). Laboratory sessions with oscilloscope and network analyser.

Schematic capture:

Libraries- and component-handling. Function verification via rule-checking tool (not simulation). Computer exercises with advanced ECAD-system.

Layout:

Libraries - and component handling. Design rules and practical handling of EMC problem. Design verification.

3D modelling. Design to production. Computer exercises with advanced ECAD - systems.

Instruction

Lectures and computer exercises.

Assessment

Project and lab-exercise.
