Aims

The aim of this course is to make students familiar with the state of the art of analogue technology by a suitable combination of theory, intuition, and computer simulation. The subject respects the fact of the co-existence of discrete circuits and permanently increasing amount of integrated circuits.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and form of controlled classwork as well as the way of its execution are specified by a regulation issued and yearly updated by the guarantee of the course.
