Introduction
The unit is directed at building on the fundamentals of electrical circuits acquired in the first year of the course to provide technical competence in analogue electronics.
The unit introduces students to the properties and characteristics of analogue electronics. Students will gain an understanding of basic analogue electrical systems and an understanding of how such systems can form part of larger technical systems.
Fundamental skills will be gained in the analysis, modeling and implementation of low frequency electronic circuits and systems.
Topics covered include:
- Diodes; simple rectifier circuits.
- Transistors; modeling, bias circuits, transistor amplifier topologies and characteristics, frequency response of amplifiers, small signal and power amplifiers design.
- Operational Amplifiers; characteristics, feedback circuits, analogue signal processing
The unit prepares students to undertake future studies in Electronic/Communication Engineering.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
