The objective of this course is to achieve the basic training of the student on the electronic instruments used in lab, the electronic devices and the electronic circuits, and the application of this knowledge to solve some engineering problems related to electronic components and circuits. (BOE 1.4). In order to achieve this objective, it is the aim of this course that the student will obtain the following knowledge and abilities: - A knowledge of how passive and active electronic devices work and their main applications - A knowledge of the electronic instruments, the measuring methods and techniques - An ability to analyze the main parameters of single and multi-transistor amplifiers in the small-signal domain - An ability to know how differential amplifiers work and to analyze their response The specific competences and the skills that are developed in this course are the following: - An ability to apply the knowledge of circuits analysis tools, the analysis of electronic circuits with passive components, active devices and amplifiers, in transient regime and stationary regime, by using partial derivative equations and the response in the frequency domain. - An ability to measure and characterize the electronic parameters associated to passive components and the biasing and small-signal parameters in amplifier circuits. In addition, an ability to interpret the results comparing them with manufacturer data sheets. - An ability to solve real problems through orientated exercises that are related to each thematic block and global case studies that involve the total contents of the course. - Knowledge of different instruments and measurement techniques and an ability to manage them in the laboratory, the use of commercial simulation tools and their application to characterize electronic circuits complimentary.

Learning activities and methodology
The training activities are organized as following: - 40% Lectures (2.4 ECTS) where the main concepts are presented on the basis of mathematical tools and circuit analysis tools. The learning materials include the lecture notes, the classroom documentation, and the basic bibliography that is used as a reference for completing the themes and study them in depth. - 40% Practical classes (2.4 ECTS) that are focused on solving exercises and case studies and continuous assessment. These classes are completed with the exercises and practical problems that are solved by the students at home. The methods of solving this cases are complemented with the use of computer simulation tools. - 20% Laboratory sessions (1.2 ECTS) where the students work in groups (in pairs). They analyze and implement basic electronic circuits with real application, and measure their main parameters by using the instrumentation and the measurement techniques in the lab. - Group tutorial: At least a group tutorial will be carry out the recovery week as revision and final exam preparation.
