Analog Electronics, Photonics, and Systems

• This teaching unit complements basic training in analog electronics with in-depth knowledge of signal filtering, amplification, and modulation. This knowledge is essential for understanding and implementing analog electronic systems in all fields of engineering science.
• Teaching is organized in the form of lectures, tutorials, and practical work, opening up the possibility for mini-projects.

Learn how to design systems whose performance is independent of the components used.

Link the performance of PDOs to their conditions of use.

Define the filter stage template and select the type and technology of filter components.

Understand the principle of PLLs.

Have a basic understanding of analog modulation and demodulation (amplitude and phase modulation).

Understand the principles of frequency conversion and analog mixers; be familiar with the various practical implementation options.

Learn how to analyze the operation of a complex linear circuit.

At the end of this course, students will be able to understand and design both data transmission systems and complex analog electronic circuits.

- Bachelor's degree level proficiency in analog electronics.
