An essential understanding of basic electronic concepts. The topics

concern (i) diodes and diode circuits such as rectifiers, (ii) basic transistor

principles such as biasing, operating point, load line, small signal analysis

and (iii) amplifier's quadrupole presentation bringing into play the input

and output impedances, the transfer function and their interaction.

Coupling theoretical concepts and investigation with exercises and online

lab sessions, the course structure follows the old and very true adage:

"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." Well

thought and perfectly clear, with rising difficulty levels, a must-have for

every physics student.
