Students will learn the basics of modern metrology, with particular reference to electronic measurements. The course begins with an introductory part on metrology, systems of units, standards, and evaluation of measurement uncertainty. During the second part, a number of important electronic instruments will be analyzed in detail.

At the end of the course, the student should be able to estimate the measurement uncertainty in simple applications.

Fundamental of Electrotechnics I and II, Applied Electronics.

Introduction to measurements. Estimating measurement uncertainties.
Analog ammeters and voltmeters. The analog multimeter.
Oscilloscopes and oscilloscope probes.
Time interval, period, and frequency counters.
Digital voltmeters: specifications, dual slope conversion, voltage-to-frequency conversion.

Exercise sessions will be held in classes. During laboratory sessions, students will practice with oscilloscopes, AC voltmeters and digital voltmeters.

References will be given during the course.

Written and oral examination: details will be given in classes.
