|||
| Course code : | EENAME-U01 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 7,5 | Status : | Optional for specified Programme |
| Revised : | 25/01 2006 | Written : | 15/03 2002 |
| Placement : | 5-7 semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English if English students are present |
| Objective : | ENAME expands the knowledge of analogue electronics to include non-linear components with large and small signal analysis and to understand noise in electronic circuit and systems. This allows the student to model and design complex electronic circuits and systems, to explain and calculate noise mechanisms in electronics circuits and systems, to calculate satellite transmission problems, signal-to-noise relations, link and power budgets. Finally EMC related matters are introduced to supplement the practical part of the lab-designs to be made in the study module. The study module provides an understanding of the subjects and allows the student to continue studying the literature within the field. | ||
| Principal Content : | 1. Modelling of physical components for simulation (large and small signal behaviour, noise) 2. Design, calculate, simulate and measure electronic circuits with non-linear components and design, calculate, simulate and measure low noise amplifier designs 3. Define noise factor, noise figure and noise temperature for an electronic design 4. Understand circuits with signal to noise problems, calculate link budget. 5. Understand the implication of practical layout problems (EMC) at low and high frequencies. |
||
| Teaching method : | The curriculum consists of overview classroom sessions combined with group work of 3-4 small practical design/measuring sessions related to the behaviour of physical components, linear and non-linear circuits and noise in circuits. | ||
| Required prequisites : | Math, Analogue and digital design equivalent to 4th semester level. | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | ENAME is mandatory to participate in Wireless communications hardware (WCHE) or satellite communication (SATT). | ||
| Type of examination : | Oral examination based on assignments | ||
| External examiner : | Internal | ||
| Marking : | Scale of 13 | ||
| Remarks : | The students must carry out a small number of CASE-projects. The project reports must be approved to enter for the examination. In the beginning of the semester the students form their own project groups. The group size should be 3-5 students. Under special circumstances, the teacher may allow smaller group sizes. The teacher/supervisor follows the group and is in charge as examiner. If more teachers are involved in the course, the groups are divided among the teachers, by the teachers. Students that have not formed a group, before a deadline set by the teacher, are considered to be inactive in the groupwork and may be refused to enter for the examination. If a group member several times fails to fulfil agreements made by the group, the group may recommend exclusion. If a student doesn"t contributes to the project-work, the teacher may refuse to enter the student for the examination. Examination: Each student is allocated 15 minutes (all in all). The examination is individual. Each student is allocated 5-6 minutes for presentation. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the projects are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span. The supervisor and the external examiner pose questions to curriculum inspired by the reports and the presentation. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the course. After the examination students, who wish so, may request (by email) a consultation after the exam, where the exam and the project report can be discussed with the supervisor. At this consultation, students that have not passed the exam, will be guided on how to work purposeful towards passing a new exam. The consultation will normally take place in the beginning of the following semester |
