Electronics Laboratory is an experimental lab course that provides the fundamentals of electronic design, simulation, construction, test and debugging of analog electronic circuits. Lectures will be devoted to design strategies and methods. The intensive use of LTspice simulations will allow circuit analysis before its fabrication. The course will include several measurement techniques to perform the experimental tests.
