TEL 153 - Introduction to Electronics for Telecommunications

Institution:

Eastern Maine Community College

Subject:

Description:

Introduces the characteristics of amplifiers using opamps with respect to amplification, dB, frequency response, and input and output impedance. Opamp applications such as inverting and non-inverting amps, summing amps, averaging amps, and comparators are introduced with emphasis on the uses of these devices in the telecom industry. Electro-optical devices, such as LEDs, laser diodes, and photodiodes, are studied including uses in the telecom industry. Diodes and transistors are conceptually introduced. Transformers are introduced in connection with power supplies. Diodes are applied as switches in linear and switching power supplies. The frequency response of passive networks and amplifiers is measured. Cutoff frequencies, rolloff, bandwidth, and magnitude and phase are discussed and visualized via Bode plots. Troubleshooting and analysis by computer simulation software is stressed throughout. Prerequisites: TEL 240 and PHY130
