Summary
This module introduces the theoretical background and the practical approaches to electronic design. It provides the necessary knowledge and understanding for more specialist study of electronic and communications systems-related topics in Years 3 and 4 of the degree courses in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and includes:
• Intermediate-level electronic analogue circuits and their use within more complex systems.
• Digital design techniques and software tools.
• Communications systems.
• Sources and impact of noise and interference.
• A companion project module (EEEE2054) provides extended coverage of some core ideas and reinforcement by applying the theoretical concepts in a design context.
Reassessment of this module, if required, will be by 100% exam.
