Voltage Regulators: Study of the electronic circuit that maintains the output voltage at a fixed level irrespective of the input voltage or load changes, and its types like linear voltage regulators, switching voltage regulators, etc.
Transient Analysis and Simulation: Study of the analysis techniques to study the transient behavior of electronic circuits using mathematical tools or software simulations.
Signal Processing: Study of the electronic circuit that processes and manipulates analog signals, like amplification, filtering, modulation, demodulation, etc.
Amplifiers: The device that can increase the voltage, current, or power of a signal.
Oscillators: A circuit that produces an output signal of a specific frequency without input signal.
Filters: Used to suppress unwanted signals or to allow particular frequencies that would pass through the circuit.
Mixers: An electronic component that combines two different signals to get a mixed signal output.
Modulators: A type of analog electronics that follows a signal between higher and lower frequencies.
Demodulators: The reverse device of modulators, they detect the modulated signals back to their original form.
Voltage regulators: They control the voltage of AC and DC operations to any particular level for proper functioning of electronic circuits.
Phase shifters: An electronic device that offsets or delays certain portions of a signal of interest.
Signal generators: Used to generate various types of signals such as sine wave, square wave, sawtooth wave or pulse wave.
Waveform generators: Used to generate a periodic waveforms that allow for other signals to be added on or to use as a carrier for signals.
