Course content
Basic means for analog circuit analysis - transfer function for small and high level signals, input and output impedances, noise and distortion analysis. Characteristics (properties) of the basic passive and active circuit elements on higher frequencies. Analog filters - types, synthesis, frequency and impedance scaling and transformation. Analog filters - realization (implementation) with R, L, C elements, active filters with operational amplifiers (OpAmps). Low noise circuits - principles, ideas (concepts), low noise OpAmps. A/D and D/A converters - types, characteristics, using, measuring of parameters. Circuit design of the boundary circuits between analog and digital parts of A/D and D/A converters - filters, level shifting circuits, input safeguarding. Choice of OpAmps for converters - important parameters. Voltage references. Oscillators - requirements, specifications, parameters, design. Oscillators with Transistors, VCO, TXCO. Phase-lock loop (PLL) - block scheme, mathematic analysis, phase noise, problems with synchronization (locking), usage. Switching power supply sources - principles, design with help of modern control integrated circuits (IC).

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Methods of individual activities, Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course Advanced Analog Circuits is to acquaint the students with principles and design of analog circuits and larger function blocks which are parts of modern communication, control, and signal processing equipments.
After the study of this subject the student will know functioning, characteristics and usage of complex circuit blocks of communication, control and signal processing equipments.
Prerequisites
Good knowledge of function, characteristics (properties) and design of basic electronic circuits is needed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Some knowledge of function, characteristics (properties), and design of basic electronic circuits is needed. Student will attend lectures, exercises, and laboratory works. Prior to exam student have to work out laboratory measurements in written form.
