Entry requirements

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

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

Component 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. Exercise with oscilloscope and network analyser.
