Introduction of course objectives, program, and exam

The learning objectives of this course are available on brightspace.

Please also study the information on the home page of this course. This page comprises important information about the preparation of the lectures and the prerequisite knowledge.

The exam will of this course is an oral group exam in which each member needs to elucidate decicions taken during the design of the hearing loop receiver.

The required pass level is a complete and correct motivation of the design of the signal path of the hearing loop receiver and its verification with SLiCAP. The focus is on the design options and the design decisions taken. Biasing considerations and the bias conditions of the transistors also need to be clarified. The design of bias circuits themselves, such as voltage sources, voltage level shifts, and current sources, is optional, but is rewarded if it is done.

Please download the latest version of SLiCAP. It will be used during this course!

Introduction hearing aids (Sonion)

ir. Ad Lafort from Sonion will give a presentation about hearing aid systems and components.

Group exercise hearing loop gain distribution

Amplifiers: Introduction hearing loop system.

The presentation “Introduction hearing loop system” introduces the design exercise, and presents the first design task.

Our elaboration of the exercise.

Groups

All design exercises in this course are group exercises. Groups of with three to seven participants are preferred.
