PREREQUISITES
CIRCUIT THEORY, PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
FORMATIVE OBJECTIVES
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
The objective of this course is to provide students with the knowledge for the analysis and synthesis of the electronic systems presented during the course and the means for their resolution. The course has both theoretical and practical character, it is therefore important that the student is able to carry out concrete problems, such as those presented during the exercises.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Students will learn the analysis techniques used in the analysis of electronic systems in different operating regimes, and acquire the necessary knowledge to carry out circuit simulations through different software.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: students will be able to evaluate which of the existing methods has to be used to analyze and synthesize the system under consideration with the aim of simplifying the resolution of the problem. Finally, they will be able to apply the software presented to perform the analysis of electronic systems in different operating regimes.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
The verification methods implemented will lead the students to 1) know how to quickly choose the methodology to be adopted for solving the proposed problems, and 2) be able to illustrate in a synthetic and analytical way the topics covered by the course using equations and schemes .
LEARNING SKILLS and AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT:
With the didactic material presented during the course (both written and video) and the list of bibliographic references proposed by the teachers, students have the opportunity to autonomously expand their knowledge on the subject by integrating topics not directly addressed in the course.
