Program: BIngHons Mikroëlektroniese Ingenieurswese
12240192 Fakulteit Ingenieurswese, Bou-omgewing en Inligtingtegnologie Minimum duur van studie: 1 jaar Totale krediete: 128
Die leergang word in oorleg met die betrokke departementshoofde bepaal. 'n Student moet in modules met 'n totaal van minstens 128 krediete slaag.
Die graad word slegs op grond van eksamens toegeken.
Behoudens die bepalings van Reg. G.1.3 en G.54 word ‘n BIng-graad of ‘n gelykwaardige kwalifikasie vir toelating vereis.
Studente mag 32 krediete se modules uit 'n ander spesialisrigting of departement neem, met toestemming van die Koördineerder: Nagraadse studie.
Eksamens en slaagvereistes
Die eksamen in elke module wat die student volg, word in die eerste normale eksamentydperk na afsluiting van klasse (dit wil sê Oktober/November of Mei/Junie) afgeneem.
'n Student vir die honneursgraad moet sy of haar studie in die geval van voltydse studente binne twee jaar, en in die geval van na-uurse studente, binne drie jaar na eerste registrasie vir die graad voltooi, met dien verstande dat die Dekaan, op aanbeveling van die departementshoof, in buitengewone omstandighede 'n vasgestelde beperkte verlenging van die tydperk kan goedkeur.
'n Student moet in elke module minstens 50% in die eksamen behaal waar 'n semester- of jaarpunt nie vereis word nie. 'n Module mag net een maal herhaal word.
In gevalle waar daar wel 'n semester- of jaarpunt toegeken word, word 'n minimum eksamenpunt van 40% en 'n finale punt van 50% vereis.
Geen her- of spesiale eksamens word op nagraadse vlak toegestaan nie.
'n Student slaag met lof as hy of sy 'n geweegde gemiddelde van minstens 75% behaal het in die eerste 128 krediete waarvoor geregistreer is (modules wat betyds gestaak is, uitgesluit). Indien die student enige module druip (modules wat betyds gestaak is, uitgesluit), kan die graad nie met lof behaal word nie.
Minimum krediete: 128
Analoog elektroniese ontwerp 732
*Hierdie inligting is slegs in Engels beskikbaar.
The integrated circuit (IC) or “chip” is the motor of the present electronic revolution. The ever-increasing impact of electronics is driven mainly by large-scale ICs such as processor and memory chips. The electronic circuit techniques used in these chips can only be understood on a deep level by a study of classical analogue electronics aimed at integrated circuit design for fabrication in CMOS, bipolar and BiCMOS processes. In addition, analog circuit techniques perform an essential role in the interfaces between the “real world” and digital systems. Examples are: voltage references, amplifiers, filters, level-converters, buffers. Important topics in this respect are feedback and stability theory as specialized for electronic circuits. The course includes: IC fabrication technology, models for IC transistors, transistor current sources and amplifiers, output stages, operational amplifiers, frequency response and stability of feedback amplifiers, nonlinear and computational circuits.
Introduction to radio communication systems, small signal amplifiers, multistage amplifiers, differential amplifiers, network noise, intermodulation distortion, noise factor and sensitivity, frequency selective networks, impedance matching, high frequency amplifiers, broadbanding techniques, AGC, oscillators, phase-locked loops, PLL applications, frequency synthesizers, power amplifiers, modulators and demodulators, frequency mixers.
Inleiding tot navorsing 732
*Hierdie is 'n verpligte module.
The aim of this module is to teach students to critically evaluate research literature, including conference papers and journal articles, in order to determine the current state of knowledge in a particular specialist area. It will also provide students with the principles of research to enable them to conduct research and prepare an original project in their particular specialist area.
Navorsingsprojek: Teorie 732
This module will cover the essential theoretical background of the student’s proposed M Eng topic and include inter alia the following:
(i) Field definition and descriptions
(ii) In-depth study into background and theory relevant to the problem to be addressed
(iii) Problem definition and description
(iv) Mathematical simulations of the problem
Navorsingsprojek: Ontwerp en laboratorium 733
This module will include extensive laboratory experiments to test the principles and possible solutions of the proposed M Eng research project and will include inter alia the following. These will include hardware and/or software experiments:
(i) Introduction to instrumentation and measuring techniques in general and specifically as applied in the field of research.
(ii) Structured laboratory work to introduce the specific problem investigated for the research undertaken.
(iii) Structured laboratory work to test the proposed solution for the problem addressed.
(iv) Confirmation experiments.
