[BRES2101]
[30h + 22.5h] 5 credits
This course is taught in the 1st semester.
Teacher(s): Francis Labrique
Language: French
Level: Second
Aims
- to understand the functioning of the basic semi-conducting components and their use in the amplification, structuring, processing and transmission of data ;
- to design electronic devices for modifying the stage of an electric engine ;
- to understand and use analogue and digital electronic measurement devices ;
- to characterize the propagation of errors in a measurement chain ;
- to select appropriate measurement devices in terms of the monitoring objective ;
- to process information from a measurement chain ; and
Main themes
- Basic tools for studying electro-technical and electronic devices
- Components of semi-conductors used in electronic circuits. Introduction of principle applications (amplification, structuring, processing and transmission of electronic signals). The following applications will be studied : power electronics and their applications, digital electronics (study of a microprocessor), analogue and digital instrumentation
Part 2 : Metrology
- Introduction to measurement error analysis
- Definition of measurement properties: sensitivity, resolution, derivative, threshold, hysteresis, extension, reproductivity, stability, precision, signal to noise ratio
- Choice and adaptation of measurement instruments in terms of the monitoring objectives
- Concept of analogue and digital information
- Measurement chain : sensors, interface and storage
- Processing of data (relation between numerical value, physical value, linearity, calibrations, )
- Tele-measurement
- Organisation of data bases. Relation with geographical information systems. Decision support systems.
