Electronic Noise and Analogue modelling (Spring 2008)

Course code : EENAME-U01
ECTS Credits : 7,5 Status : Optional for specified Programme
Placement : 5-7 semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Principal Content : Nonlinear-, DC-, Linear- and Noise models of semiconductor components e.g. diodes, transistors (Bipolar transistor, J-FET, MOS-FET).

Basic Semiconductor Amplifier Circuits.

DC-, Small-signal- and Noise Analysis.

Internal Noise: Thermal-, Shot-, Flicker-, Avalanche- and Popcorn-Noise.

Noise Spectrum.

Frequency Domain Noise -Calculation, -Simulation and -Measurements.

Noise in Systems: Signal to Noise Ratio, Noise Factor, Noise Figure, Noise Temperature, Equivalent input Noise, Cascading.

External Noise: Conducted Noise, Inductive or Capacitive Coupled Noise. Layout. Filtering. Shielding. Differential- and Common- Mode Noise.

Teaching method : Overview lectures (less than 50% of the time) + group assignments.

In some weeks, especially in the end of course, all the time may be set aside for bigger assignments.

The group can discuss the assignments with the teacher inside the scheduled time. Outside the scheduled time students must use e-mail. Response time objective: E-mails will be answered before end of the following workday.

The group is encouraged to use common engineering procedures to judge their own work, so normally the teacher will only give feedback on specific issues, by request.
Required prequisites : Circuit and filter theory, analog simulation, analog electronics, electro physics and mathematics equivalent to end of 3rd semester.
Responsible teacher :
