Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Up to 30 points for the activity during the semester.
Up to 70 points for exam.
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.

Aims

The aim of this course is to make students familiar with the state-of-the-art of analogue signal processing by a suitable combination of theory, intuition, and computer simulation. The subject respects the co-existence of discrete components and permanently increasing amount of special integrated circuits.
The graduate is able to:
- explain what is the linear and nonlinear electric circuit
- specify the causes of linear and nonlinear distortion of signal passing through the circuit
- describe the basic properties of BJT's and MOSFET's and the way they affect the parameters of amplifiers
- describe basic linear and nonlinear characteristics of operational amplifiers
- draw schematics of basic amplifiers employing operational amplifiers and to explain their operation
- discuss advantages and drawbacks of modern active elements such as VFA, CFA, TIA, CCII, OTA
- explain possible strategies of the synthesis of higher-order frequency filters
- describe the features of common types of the approximations of amplitude frequency characteristics
- draw schematics of universal active biquads and to explain their purpose and operation
- explain the operation of basic feedback RC oscillators
- explain the purpose and circuit implementation of the hysteresis in integrated comparators
- describe a key idea of waveform generator via comparator and inertia filters
- explain the methods of the operation of modern voltage references
