Aims

The course familiarizes the students to the fundamental aspects of electronic tools in modern metrology. It treats the essential points in linear electronics for semi-conductors and small signals.

Main themes

1. Analysis of passive circuits composed of linear and permanent elements
2. Semi-conductor diode
3. Bipolar transistor
4. Unipolar transistor or FET with field effects
5. Differential amplificatory, operational amplificatory
6. Transmission lines
7. Noises
8. Amplitude modulation

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Laboratories are the illustration and application of concepts seen in class. They are an indispensable complement.
