Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
This teaching unitis designed to familiarize the student with the basic aspects of electronic equipment in modern metrology. It is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the essential points of linear electronics in semiconductors and small signals. The second part is dedicated to an introduction to digital electronics and data acquisition systems. Both parts should be followed in parallel and the links between these two parts will be done during practical work and during a personal project.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
