COURSE DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION INFORMATION

Course Name Code Semester T+A+L (hour/week) Type (C / O) Local Credit ECTS
Electronics II EEE 304 Spring 03+00+02 Elective 4 6
Academic Unit: Electrical-Electronics Engineering
Mode of Delivery: Face to face
Prerequisites: EEE 303 Electronics I
Language of Instruction: English
Level of Course Unit: Undergraduate
Course Coordinator: - -
Course Objectives: To provide a solid understanding of the amplifier concept along with the high frequency limitations. The students will be familiar with the main building blocks of analog discrete/integrated circuits and they will be able to carry out the following steps in the design cycle: determination of the topology based on circuit specifications, estimating the component values, hand-calculation of basic performance metrics, verification and optimization by simulation.
To gain practical experience in building and testing of electronic circuits.
Course Contents: Frequency response of amplifiers; high frequency characteristics of transistors; power amplifiers; integrated circuit blocks: current sources, gain stages, differential pair, output stage; multistage amplifiers and OPAMP; feedback; oscillators.
Module projects: Amplifiers, frequency response, feedback, oscillators, OPAMP, experiment design.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO):
  • 1- Ability to perform high and low frequency analysis and design of transistor amplifiers and integrated circuit building blocks
  • 2- Ability to explain use of different power amplifier topologies
  • 3- Ability to explain feedback concept and to analyze and design oscillator circuits
  • 4- Ability to use data sheets for obtaining fundamental device characteristics (AC)
  • 5- Ability to use a schematic capture and circuit simulation software for analysis and design purposes effectively (AC)
  • 6- Ability to build electronic circuits on the breadboard, to measure circuit characteristics using measurement devices, and to troubleshoot circuits.
  • 7- Ability to comparatively review theoretical, simulation, and measurement results in electronic circuits, and to explain reasons of discrepancy between them in a project report.
  • 8- Ability to design an experiment considering realistic constraints, and to analyse the results.
Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: Lectures, self study workshops, simulation work, laboratory work and measurements, project work
