Préalables
LPHYS1221 for the students enrolled in the Bachelor in physics who wish to follow this teaching unit within the additional module in physics. Having followed LPHYS1201 is an asset.
No prerequisites for students who have obtained a Bachelor's degree in physics and who therefore already have a basic knowledge of :
- circuit theory,
- the complex algebra and Laplace transform.
Thèmes abordés
This teaching unit is designed to familiarize the student with the basic aspects of analog electronic equipment in modern metrology. It deals with the essential points of linear electronics in semiconductors and small signals, mainly focalized in the study of
. Both parts should be followed in parallel and the links between these two parts will be done during practical work and during a personal project.
