2. Pre-requisites Physics, Electrical Engineering
3. Course Type (compulsory, elective, optional) compulsory

d. Abstract The electronics course covers the basic aspects of radio-communication circuits principles, applying, design, characteristics measuring and simulation. The feature of the course is the tight coupling between the first-order circuit analysis and Spice simulation results. It combines the pragmatic approach for the practicing specialist with the quantitative approach for the engineer.
