EEE 211 ANALOG ELECTRONICS
Fundamental analog elecronics is studied in this course. The course is
structured on a scenario of designing and constructing a HF radio
transceiver.
Topics in analog electronics in the frequency range d.c. to 30 MHz
range
are covered. Block diagram concept. Passive electronic components (R,
L, C,
diode, crystals, etc.) and integrated circuits, as active devices, are
discussed. Filters, power supplies, audio amplifiers, speakers,
microphones,
radio amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, and antennas are progressively
introduced towards the construction of the transceiver. Minimum
mathematical
background and definitions (such as solution of
first
order differential equations and phasors) are introduced only when
necessary.
All terminology and jargon are introduced. Every student is required to
possess
a soldering iron, desoldering pump and a set of hand tools listed below.
