Analogue - Relating to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position, voltage, or pressure., Electronics - The branch of physics and technology concerned with the design of circuits using transistors and microchips, and with the behavior and movement of electrons in semiconductors, conductors, vacuums, and gases., Amplifier - An electronic circuit that increases the power of a signal., Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) - A high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and usually a single-ended output. It's a fundamental building block in many analogue circuits., Filter - An electronic circuit designed to selectively pass signals of certain frequencies while attenuating signals of other frequencies., Oscillator - An electronic circuit that produces a periodic oscillating electronic signal, often a sine wave or a square wave., Capacitive Reactance (XC) - The opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) caused by a capacitor. Its value is inversely proportional to the frequency of the AC signal and the capacitance. Mathematically, XC=2πfC1, where f is the frequency and C is the capacitance., Inductive Reactance (XL) - The opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) caused by an inductor. Its value is directly proportional to the frequency of the AC signal and the inductance. Mathematically, XL=2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance., Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) - A type of transistor that uses both electron and hole charge carriers. It has three terminals: the emitter, the base, and the collector., Field-Effect Transistor (FET) - A type of transistor that uses an electric field to control the shape and hence the electrical conductivity of a channel between a source and drain terminal., Frequency Response - The measure of a system's output amplitude and phase as a function of the input frequency. In electronics, it often describes how an amplifier or filter behaves at different frequencies., Signal Amplification - The process of increasing the power or amplitude of an electronic signal., Diode - A semiconductor device with two terminals, typically allowing the flow of current in one direction (forward bias) and blocking it in the opposite direction (reverse bias)., Transistor - A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is a fundamental building block of modern electronic devices., Integrated Circuit (IC) - A set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, usually silicon., Resonance - The condition in an electric circuit when the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance are equal, resulting in maximum energy transfer at a specific frequency., Gain - The ratio of the output power or amplitude to the input power or amplitude of a circuit, often expressed in decibels (dB)., Feedback - A process in which a portion of the output signal of a system is returned to the input. It can be positive (leading to oscillation or instability) or negative (used for stabilization and controlled gain)., Rectifier - An electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC)., Modulation - The process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. Common types include amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM).,
