"Principles of ELectronic Instrumentation" |
| Description: |
A summary of modern electronics currently used in research. The goal is to
provide students with sufficient understanding to analyze and design analog
and digital circuits of moderate complexity. Practical aspects of circuit
analysis and design will be emphasized. Examples will be selected to
illustrate applications of electronics used in the instrumentation
of modern physics experiments. An overview of technologies available for
a variety of instrumentation applications will be provided.
