According to the UCLM regulation, no prerequiste courses can be established. Nonetheless, it is recommended that students have previously followed and, if possible, passed the courses of “Fundamentals of Mathematics I”, “Fundamental of Mathematics II”, “Fundamentals of Mathematics III”, “Fundamentals of Physics I”, “Fundamentals of Physics II”, “Components and Circuits” y “Electronics Devices”. More precisely, students are required to undersand and handle basic concepts about derivation and intregration, solving systems of linear equations, spectrial analysis and Fourier Series, electromagnetism and wave propagation, analysis of electrical circuits, design of resonant circuits, physics of semiconductors, analysis of circuits with diodes, transistors and fotonic devices, and finally amplification. Students should also have some basic notions about the software Matlab.
Electronics plays a key role in many branchs of the Telecommunications engineering. Thus, this course exposes students for the first time to fundamental concepts of three-phase voltages and powers, transformers, single-phase and three-phase rectifiers, isolated and non-isolated dc-dc converters, single-phase and three-phase inverters, and photovoltaic installations. The knowledge gained in this course will hence be required to understand more advanced concepts in upper subjects related to high frequency electronics and medical devices.
