Aims

The aim of this course is to make students familiar with the state of the art of analogue technology by a suitable combination of theory, intuition, and computer simulation. The subject respects the fact of the co-existence of discrete circuits and permanently increasing amount of integrated circuits.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
