The subject extends the knowledge of analog electronic circuits and provides foundations of non-linear electronic circuits. The subject covers principles of signal reshaping or generation by non-linear circuits and provides practical examples of real world devices. The content is selected as a broad range of non-linear circuit types and is a foundation for advanced concepts in analog electronics.

Lectures, laboratory work, work at home/homeworks. Part of the pedagogical process will be carried out with the help of ICT technologies and the opportunities they offer.
