Faber Academic year 2023 Starting block 1A Application procedure - Registration using OSIRIS No Aims Students are able to characterise and analyse electric circuits regarding 1st and 2nd order systems in the frequency (filters) domain with the aid of various signal descriptions, complex number theory and differential equations; furthermore, students are able to characterise and analyse electronic implementations of these systems. Finally, students are able to analyse, design and synthesis circuits containing active elements (i.e. Bipolar Junction Transistors used as switch and as (audio amplifier), Opamps used in various circuit configurations). Content The foundation of Smart Technology is Circuits and Electronics in which passive and active electronic components and the analysis and operation of basic electric circuits (transients, filtering, amplification, etc.) will be laid down. To be more precise, the following topics will be treated: signal descriptions in time and frequency domain (e.g. average values, RMS values, Fourier series); the passive components R, L and C and their current, voltage and power relations; complex impedances; 1st and 2nd order passive filters; electronics such as the active (semiconductor) components diodes, LEDs, bipolar junction transistors (both as a switch and as an amplifier) and Opamps. This is the Circuits & Electronics part of module 2020000979 / 202000980 - Smart Technology (B-CREA) with course code 202001497 for pre-master students. If you want to enroll, please contact K.
