Course detail

Electronic Measurement Technics

FEKT-MEMTAcad. year: 2016/2017

Course deals the issue of measurement instruments for passive and active tags, measurement theory and experiment. Students will deepen their knowledge of the principles, characteristics and use of electronic measuring instruments. Emphasis is placed on the correct use of standard terms. They will learn to use a measuring device for measuring active tags with an emphasis on oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, frequency, time and phase, general impedance.
