Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have an overall understanding of analog electronics and will have the ability to both analyze and design circuits for the analog processing of baseband electric signals. In particular, he/she will also acquire a working knowledge of the noise sources in electron devices and will be able to design low-noise amplifiers. In addition, he/she will be aware of the techniques to interface electronic circuits with the power mains and will be familiar with the issues related to galvanic isolation.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
In the written part of the exam, the student will be assessed on his./her ability to analyze a feedback circuit in terms of transfer function and noise, as well as on the his/her ability to design a circuit that satisfies a few given specifications.
During the oral exam, the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge and understanding of the course material, and his/her ability to applie such knowledge in practical cases.Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
Further information:
The final grade for the exam depends on the result both of the oral and of the written part. Each part carries a 50% relative weight.
Teaching methods

Syllabus
The course includes the analysis of the internal structure of a common operational amplifier; a number of configurations for active biquadratic filters, including their implementation with switched capacitors; the Gilbert analog multiplier; the Nyquist stability criterion; analysis of the root locus and amplitude stabilization of the Wien bridge oscillator; compensation techniques; the cut-insertion theorem for the analysis of feedback circuits; origin of the main types of electronic noise (shot, thermal, generation-recombination, flicker); the generalized Thevenin theorem; equivalent noise circuits for the main devices and for amplifiers; optimization of amplifiers from the point of view of noise; usage of relays and galvanic isolation with transformers
