4 points + 26 lectures + 26 hours of laboratory and problem classes + Second semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: ECE3602, ECE3102, ECE3301

Synopsis: Amplifier fundamentals: small-signal concept, transfer functions, time and frequency responses. Biasing: temperature and tolerance. Small-signal equivalent circuits: isolated diode BJT FET, CE CB CC LTP stages, mid-band gain, poles and zeros. Multi-stage amplifiers. DC amplifiers: origins of offset and drift. Large-signal amplifiers: class A and B operation, distortion. Feedback amplifiers: transfer functions, sensitivity, poles and zeros. Sinusoidal oscillators: poles on jw axis, amplitude stabilisation and distortion.

Assessment: Examination (3 hours): 70% + Laboratory work and assignments: 30%
