Aims

At the end of the course, the student must be able :
- 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

Part 1 : Electronics
- 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

Exercises and laboratory.
The exercises and the laboratories envisage to train students in the use of electronic circuits and electronic measurement devices.
