Course Overview

> THIS COURSE PROVIDES A GENERAL PRESENTATION OF BASIC ELECTRONIC
CONCEPTS. THE TOPICS CONCERN:

- Recognize diodes and diode circuits such as rectifiers 
- Examine basic transistor principles such as biasing, operating
point, load line, and small signal analysis 
- Investigate amplifier’s quadrupole presentation bringing into
play the input and output impedances, the transfer function and their
interactions.
