Design and analysis of operational amplifiers, filters, and signal conditioning circuits for practical applications.
About the course
This course covers the design and analysis of operational amplifiers, filters, and signal conditioning circuits for practical applications. You will explore the theoretical foundations of analog electronics and apply them to real-world engineering problems. The curriculum emphasizes both hand calculations and simulation-based verification to ensure circuit reliability.
Students will learn to design active filters, multi-stage amplifier systems, and precision signal conditioning circuits. Laboratory sessions provide hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, function generators, and power supplies. You will build, test, and troubleshoot circuits, documenting your results in professional engineering reports.
