Module description

Analogue and digital signals are found in all modern-day technology, from mobile phones to aircraft. This practical, hands-on module teaches you how to design, simulate, build and test real electronic systems. You will get the chance to design electronic circuits using basic analogue and digital circuit building blocks, including transistor amplifiers, integrated circuit operational-amplifiers, filters, oscillators, counters, decoders, adders, latches and multiplexers. Furthermore, you will devise complex digital systems using programmable logic, such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Finally, you will design a range of practical circuits, simulating their performance in modern electronics simulators (Multisim and HDL) and explore their hardware implementation taking into account practical considerations such as component tolerances for circuit analysis and improvement.Throughout the module, lecturers will use a variety of case studies to aid your learning, including the design of amplifiers, filters and synchronous counters.
