This course builds on ENGN1218 Introduction to Electronics by developing the students' understanding of the principles and operation of advanced electronic circuits and devices (RLC circuits, operational amplifier, filters, bipolar junction transistor and digital logic gates). It also emphasizes the importance of modelling the behaviour of complex electronic circuits and devices using systematic mathematical techniques. Specific topics include:

• Steady State RLC circuit analysis: complex numbers, phasors, impedances, complex power.
• Introduction to Operational Filter Circuits: Transfer functions, Bode Plots, First order active filters (low-pass and high pass).
• Bipolar Junction Transistors: Basic BJT concepts and circuit models, BJT Amplifiers (bias circuits, small-signal and large-signal equivalent circuits), BJT Common Emitter and Common Collector amplifiers, Cascaded BJT amplifiers.
• Introduction to Digital Electronics: Number systems, Boolean algebra, Logic gates, Combinational logic circuits, Karnaugh maps, Combinational logic circuit design.

PSPICE is used extensively in the analysis and design.

Students will:

- be familiar with the fundamental concepts of the electronics and electrical engineering

- be able to undertake practical experiments that demonstrate these concepts

- be able to demonstrate the skills required to design, model and analyse a comples electronic circuits

Computer laboratories (10%); Hardware laboratories (20%); Mid-Semester Exam (15%); Final Exam (55%)
