Aim
The course is the starting point of the path towards design and development of analogue circuits like amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, AD-converters etc. It is the base for the courses Advanced Analogue Design, Analogue IC-design and Radio electronics. Further the course is useful for the project courses Analogue Projects and IC Projects.

Knowledge in linear systems and semiconductor physics are used. The course also presents interesting applications within control theory.

Contents
Amplifiers are used in many areas for example in mobile phones, signal conditioning, medicine equipment and in computers. The course gives a systematic method with which an optimal amplifier may be designed. Within the course (for students of Electrical Engineering) is confined a part of a case study, described in ESS081 Engineering Aspects of an Application

Presentation of Analysis: Technical Aspects of an Application.
