This course is a blend of theory and practice where the students build an electronic device
and learn the basics of the theory behind that device.
General Description of the Course
This course aims at teaching basic circuit theory and analog electronics, based on a
scenario of building a transceiver. Discrete passive components and active integrated
circuits are introduced and employed in the course to implement the analog signal
processing required in the transceiver. Various topics in the frequency range from D.C. to 30
MHz are covered.
The course is structured on a HF (High-Frequency) transceiver (transmitter-receiver),
“TRC-11”, operating in the 11-meter amateur band. Students are required to get the kit and
construct the transceiver in the laboratory. Block-by-block construction with tests and
evaluations at various steps leads to a successful assembly and operation of the device.
A successful electronics engineer must be able to analyze circuits, make designs and
properly evaluate test & measurement results. Given this general requirement, lectures
cover the applied theory behind the building blocks of the transceiver, in parallel with
laboratory work. The topics covered are; block diagram concept, passive electronic
components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, crystals, etc.), power supplies,
integrated circuits as active devices, audio amplifiers, speakers, radio amplifiers, filters,
oscillators, mixers and antennas are progressively introduced, alongside step-by-step
assembly of the transceiver.
Basic mathematical background and definitions (solution of first-order differential equations,
complex arithmetic, phasors, etc.) are studied only when necessary and to the extent
required for the scope of this course. All related terminology is provided.
Prerequisites: PHYS 102, or consent of the Instructor.

Course Language
The course is taught in English. Therefore, communication & correspondence of any kind
(during the lectures and interviews; on Moodle, etc.) has to be in English. The only exception
may be discussion of private subjects.
Course Material & Resources
Transceiver kit: The hardware for constructing TRC-11 transceiver. Can be obtained from
Metin Kayabaşı at EE-101.
Textbook: EEE-211 Analog Electronics Textbook. A hard copy is included in TRC-11 kit.
Electronic version will be posted on Moodle.
Hand tools: Tools that will be needed in the laboratory. Each student is required to use
his/her own tools, starting with the first experiment.
• Oscilloscope probe (can be found at Meteksan Bookstore)
• Multimeter
• Soldering iron and stand, 25W, point tip (havya, sivri uçlu)
• Soldering sponge (sünger)
• Pocket knife (çakı)
• Plastic alignment tool with fine metal screwdriver tip (ayar çubuğu)
• Long-nose pliers with fine tip (ince uçlu kargaburun pense)
• Diagonal cutter (yan keski)
• De-soldering pump (lehim sökme pompası)
• Tweezers (cımbız)
• Mains Tester (kontrol kalemi)
These tools can be obtained from stores such as Bauhaus, etc. If not available there, they
can definitely be found in stores in Konya Sokak, Ulus (see map below).
Students should not purchase solder: Lead-free solder is available in the laboratory.
Standard test & measurement (T&M) instruments (oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.) are
available at the laboratory (EE-101).

Scientific calculator: Besides the laboratory work, it will be extensively used for homework,
interviews, quizzes, and examinations. Since the course is based on building electronic
circuits, numerical results will be as important as analytical calculations. Complex
