To understand and be able to apply the techniques described in the course, it is necessary to have taken the exams in Circuit Theory, Electronics and Electrical Measurements. Some topics in the program require knowledge of Fourier and Laplace series and transforms, as well as mathematical skills. These prerequisites are essential for the student who wants to profitably follow the course.
