Intended learning outcomes
A student completing this course unit should be able to:
- Describe the electronic behavior of basic electronic components such as resistors, inductors, capacitors.
- Perform a theoretical analysis of circuits with discrete components.
- Apply basic measurement techniques using the voltmeter, the ammeter and the oscilloscope to study electrical circuits in direct and alternating current. Explain the limitations of the measuring equipment and predict errors due to non-ideal behavior.
- Program a microcontroller to read and send sensor data to a PC.
- To complete a small project for the acquisition of a biopotential (such as EMG) including the analog front-end, sampling and signal display.
