| Course contents :
| Introduction of the basic concepts of electronic (analogic and digital) insisting on the modern techniques of data acquisition and handling used in laboratory environment. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| 1.- Solid state physics of semi-conductors (diode, transistor, bipolar, FET, etc...)
2.- Analog circuitry: filter, transistor amplifier, operational amplifier (feedback)
3.- Non linear electronic : trigger, oscillator,...
4.- Digital electronic : gate, flip-flop, counter, PAL, memory, ...
5.- ADC/DAC (with sampling theory)
6.- The micro processor (computer)
7.- Data acquisition, representation, and conversion (noise theory and reduction)
8.- Recent progress in experimental techniques: case studies digital scope, SQUID, atom and ion traps, GSM, GPS, etc...

| Prerequisites :
| Bachelor degree in sciences (physics) | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Practical work on electronic bench is proposed. The students learn how to handle electronic components and construct simple circuits. Micro-controller programming (in C language) is also performed in order to control simple systems. Computers are available to analyze the data. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| Teaching: 2 hours twice a week (first "quadrimestre"). Exercises: one afternoon (14h-18h) each week (first "quadrimestre").
| |
|  | | |
| Written notes :
| Lecture notes are available (200 p.) from the teacher or, in .pdf, from the web site.
