About the course

Course content

Electrical components. Noise analysis and modeling. EMC. Grounding strategies, transmission line and signal integrity. Heat conduction and dissipation. Power supplies and voltage converters. Electrical/mechanical construction and manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCB). Schematics, simulation, layout, soldering, testing and troubleshooting. System characteristics. Lumped modelling and SPICE-simulation. Project planning, project work, data presentation and reporting.

Learning outcome

A. Knowledge.

The student shall have:

  • Insight into the development process and production of electronic equipment.
  • Knowledge about circuit design, layout, PCB, assembly, soldering and testing.
  • Overview of components used for electronics construction.
  • Know of noise and EMC, and principles to reduce the effect of this in electronic systems.
  • Basic knowledge of electrical and mechanical construction for electronic circuits.

B. Skills

The student will be able to:

  • Analyze, model and simulate electronic circuits with SPICE.
  • Use CAD tools for drawing and layout for circuit design.
  • Make PCB and assemble components on it.
  • Test and verify a produced electronic circuit design.
  • Model signal and noise and calculate expected target accuracy in a measurement system
  • Program data acquisition and data presentation
  • Document experiments and measurement data.

C. General competence

  • The student shall be able to develop, make and test electronic equipment - from idea to final product.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures. Exercises. Laboratory work. Project work.

Further on evaluation

The final grade is given by two partial assessments: a digital written exam (counts for 51%) and a project assignment (count 49%). Both exam and project assignment must be passed. Grade: letter grade A-F.

If the project assignment is not passed, the project must be retaken at the next ordinary completion of the course.

In case of a re-sit exam in august, the digital written exam may be changed to an oral exam.

If one or more partial assessments are not passed, only the individual partial assessment(s) that have not been passed must be retaken.

When retaking an already passed final assessment, the entire course must be repeated
