Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  1. RC circuits and time constant. Handling of oscilloscope and function generator.
  2. Transistor amplifier. A single amplifier with certain characteristics must be constructed and its properties measured.
  3. Operational Amplifier. A fixed amplifier amplifier shall be built and its frequency range and gain shall be measured.
  4. Logic circuits. A bistable rocker with given properties shall be constructed and the properties verified in measurement.
  5. Programmable logic circuits. An FPGA should be programmed to given properties that are to be measured and verified.
  6. Microprocessor. A microprocessor should be programmed to perform simple control from given input data.

Intended learning outcomes

  • Define the problem for measuring electrical signal and control of equipment based on input signal.
  • Select the appropriate basic solution for the food circuit and detailed the solution for electronics engineers

Literature is determined by the examiner.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

P, F

Examination

  • PRO1 - Project work, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • PRO2 - Project work, 3.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

Approved grade on PRO1 and PRO2

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
