  • Students understand the theory of feedback control systems in detail, how to apply this theory for stability compensation and how to model and simulate the stability of feedback systems. They can analyze the frequency behavior of basic electronic circuits on transistor level and know how to compensate stability of transistor circuits for a defined phase margin.
  • Students can explain the physical background and behavior of noise in integrated circuits. They are able to calculate and simulate the noise of basic transistor circuits.
  • Students are able to design and optimize operational amplifiers with respect to different performance parameters.
  • They understand the concepts of different amplifier architectures like Opamp, OTA or TIA.
