DESCRIPTION:
Basic Electronics – The fall semester focuses on the very basics; resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and transistors. The spring semester continues from there by applying what can be done with the basic components including amplifiers, oscillators, to basic logic circuits. We will incorporate Amateur Radio in the spring semester as a case study and tying all the information into a practical example. Then finish the semester with extending the logic discussion into computer circuits.
Teacher: Ken Edwards ken.edwards@mindspring.com
