Course detail

Analog Technology

FEKT-HANAAcad. year: 2012/2013

This course continues and supplements the findings gained in the Electronic elements and Electrical engineering. It focuses specially on given applications and realization of chosen linear and non-linear functional blocks. It provides an overview of different types of operational amplifiers and introduces other active elements, e.g. transadmittance amplifiers, current and voltage conveyors, voltage and current followers.
During laboratory classes students will design chosen functional blocks and perform their analysis.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The student will get acquianted with basic functional blocks and analogue active elements that are essential for pre-processing of analogue signal before its conversion into the digital form or for post-processing after conversion of digital signal into analogue one. Based on the knowledge gained the student will be able to analyze the functionality of analogue systems and their application possibilities.

Prerequisites

Secondary school level knowledge and intermediate level of English are required.

Co-requisites
