Description including Unit Aims
An introduction to the application of analogue and digital electronic systems for non-electrical engineering students. The aim is to develop students' high-level knowledge and skills to enable them to be effective specifiers and users of analogue and digital subsystems, electrical/electronic sensors and actuators. It also provides a basic understanding of electrical power. The unit consists of lectures, example classes, and labs. Students will gain theoretical as well as hands-on experience of both analogue and digital aspects of electronics.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
- list the basic functions and elements of electrical and electronic systems
- explain terms such as range, resolution, accuracy, precision, linearity and sensitivity
- describe the role of sensors and the interface between typical sensors and electronic instruments
- describe the characteristics of electric sources
- describe the DC and AC electrical voltage and current
- describe the characteristics of resistors, capacitors and inductors
- explain the concept of weak signal amplification and the key specifications of signal amplifiers
- have a knowledge of different types of amplifiers
- carry out simple calculations relating to amplifiers
- describe typical filter characteristics in terms of amplitude response
- design simple networks using resistors and reactive components to form analogue filters
- describe and apply binary arithmetic
- describe and apply Boolean algebra for the design of digital circuits
- apply Pulse Width Modulation to control motors, servers or other electronic devices
- select the appropriate ADC/DAC converters for an application.
- understand sampling and aliasing effect
- compare Analogue and Digital Filtering
- compare various processors such CPUs, DSPs and GPUs
