Analog electronics can be found in all areas of electrical engineering, especially at the interfaces between the analog environment and digital signal processing. After completing the module, students will be familiar with the components, structure and properties of analog electronic circuits as well as the design process (Electronic Design Automation, EDA). They will be familiar with various data sheets for individual components and integrated circuits. Students are able to calculate a given circuit or design and lay out a circuit according to given requirements.

1. Basics of analog electronics: Development process, description of circuits in the time and frequency domain, four poles

2. Components: Properties of passive components, diodes

3. Operational amplifiers: Basic circuits, internal structure, properties, data sheets

4. Circuits with operational amplifiers

5. Bipolar and field effect transistors: Basic function, structure, characteristics, properties 

6. The transistor as a switch

7. Amplifier circuits with transistors

8. Further circuits: Constant current sources, voltage regulators

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination

• Field work / Experimental work

The experimental work is carried out in the form of a practical course. The experiments must be prepared and a report must be written.

Graded assessment:

• Written exam: see applicable study regulations

Ungraded assessment:

• Experimental work: 5 trials of 90 minutes each

Basic knowledge of electrical engineering is required, in particular direct and alternating current networks with the components resistors, capacitors and inductors.

In mathematics, you must be familiar with complex numbers, differential and integral calculus, and solving linear equation systems.

Students who have successfully studied this module can recognise and calculate a given analogue circuit. They will be familiar with the components used and their properties.

After completing the module, students will be able to design a suitable analogue circuit for a given task, select suitable components and design the circuit. They will also be aware of the importance of low power consumption in analogue circuits.

Upon completion of this module, students will understand that there are differences between the theoretical calculations and the actual properties of an analog circuit. They will be able to assess the relevance of these differences and obtain necessary information from component datasheets.

Students who have successfully completed this module will be able to build an analog circuit and perform simulations, measurements and calculations.

Upon completion of the module, students will be able to process, present, and discuss the results of selected analyses, simulations, measurements, and calculations.
