ARRL introduce on-line analog electronics course

The ARRL Certification and Continuing Education Program (C-CE) will introduce a new on-line course, Analog Electronics, EC-012, this month.

Registration for the first session will remain open through Sunday, February 13, and the class will begin Friday, February 25.

In 16 learning units students will learn about the use of instrumentation, Kirchoff's Laws--two laws necessary for solving circuit problems, diodes, rectifier circuits, bipolar and field effect transistors, various amplifier configurations, filters, timers, op amps and voltage regulators. Most
lessons include a design problem and optional construction project. The course run 12 weeks and earns 2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

This course is designed for those who feel at home with basic electrical and electronic components. Prospective students should be able to read simple schematics; know Ohm's Law and the relationship between power, voltage,
current, and resistance; own and be able to use basic test equipment and be competent in simple algebra.

Those who feel they need a refresher course might consider browsing the first few sections of Chapter 6, AC Theory and Reactive Components, in The ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications or pick up a copy of Understanding Basic Electronics, by Larry Wolfgang, WR1B.

EC-012 tuition is $65 for ARRL members and $95 for nonmembers. Additional details are in the course introduction. Information on all ARRL C-CE
courses is on the ARRL Web site.
