Course descriptionCircuit Theory and Techniques. This course aims to build on the material presented in second year and to give the students an intuitive feel for the basic building blocks of analogue circuits. To teach how to analyse and design discrete and integrated bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and CMOS based analogue circuits. Signals and Systems: This course aims to provide an insight into time domain and frequency domain analysis techniques for time domain and frequency domain analysis techniques for both continuous- and discrete-time linear systems. At the end of the module students will have acquired sufficient expertise in these concepts to analyse simple feedback control systems and sampled-data filtering systems. Matlab

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Circuit Theory and Techniques. Single and matched pair BJT and CMOS circuits including common emitter and common base discrete BJT amplifiers with and without series emitter feedback, by passed or unbypassed. A two, n-p-n BJT cascode amplifier. A two, n-p-n BJT transistor differential amplifier with passive collector loads and tail resistor. The above differential amplifier with a 2 or 3 transistor current mirror setting the tail current. The above differential amplifier with a 2 or 3 pnp BJT current mirror active collector load. CMOS current mirrors, simple and cascode inverters, source follower and differential amplifier circuits.

Signals and Systems: A student should be able to: evaluate the Fourier and Laplace transforms of simple waveforms and provide a physical interpretation of these transforms; explain the role of these transforms in evaluating the response of a linear system to a particular signal and calculate the response of a simple system to a simple waveform using transform techniques; recall the convolution integral and its properties and evaluate the response of a simple linear system to a simple waveform using the integral; sketch the frequency response of a system from its pole/zero map and draw the Bode plots of first, second and third order systems; sketch the impulse and step responses of first and second order systems from their transfer functions; explain negative feedback and evaluate the steady-state error of a simple control system; recall the sampling theorem.
