Course history

Introduction

The course provides an introduction to the field of electronics. The main focus is analog electronics with an introduction to electrical systems, sensors and actuators. Systems are analyzed with frequency analysis and transient analysis. The main component of electrical systems amplifiers is presented and controlled with feedback, this is especially evident in the course when working with the operational amplifier. The last part of the subject is semiconductor technology with the construction of semiconductors. Diodes as simple pn-junctions are presented before bipolar transistors and field effect transistors MOSFET and JFET.
