This subject will explore the design of various electrical and electronic systems. The aim is to introduce students to a range of common and practical electrical and electronic engineering design techniques and circuits. Students will apply this knowledge within the context of guided laboratory based projects. Topics covered may include: oscillators, phase-locked loops and frequency synthesis; base-band signalling schemes and clock recovery; logarithmic amplification; automatic gain control; mixers; filters; synchronous detection; high-speed analog-digital conversion; high-frequency amplification; noise in systems; low noise amplifiers; power supply design; sensors; and displays.

On completing this subject the student should be able to:

• Apply practical knowledge of a range of standard electrical and electronic subsystems;
• Quantitatively analyse and design the behaviour of standard electrical and electronic subsystems;
• Integrate standard electrical and electronic subsystems;
• Choose/design, implement and test a range of standard electrical and electronic subsystems.

• One written examination, not exceeding three hours at the end of semester, worth 60% (must pass written exam to pass subject);
• Continuous assessment of submitted project work, not exceeding 40 pages over the semester, worth 40%.
