To acquire deep and systematic knowledge of methods and devices in radio electronics, including the study of fundamental methods for working with electronic components and their practical applications, such as solving astronomical problems. Additionally, this involves understanding the errors in experimental research (design), methods of processing and interpreting observational data, and summarizing results. The course aims to develop the ability to search for, process, and analyze information from various sources, including electronic resources, and enhance students' abstract thinking, analytical skills, and synthesis of materials from diverse disciplines.

The course material is based on the knowledge of physical laws, including mechanics, molecular physics, electricity, and elements of atomic physics, as well as the fundamentals of mathematical physics. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of general astronomy and the ability to apply prior knowledge from advanced mathematics and physics courses. They should also possess foundational skills in differential and integral calculus, including computing derivatives and integrals, vector operations, and expanding functions into series and Fourier integrals.

The course "Electronics in Astronomy" is part of the professional training cycle for the Bachelor’s degree program in Astronomy. The curriculum is designed for students familiar with advanced mathematics and experimental physics. The learning outcomes include acquiring basic knowledge of electronics as a semi-technical discipline. Teaching Methods: Lectures, consultations, laboratory sessions. Assessment Methods: In-class questioning, assignments after key sections, laboratory practicals, and a final credit-based assessment.

Lectures Laboratory practice

Semester Evaluation: 1. Control tests: 2 tests, each worth 15 points. 2. Short individual assignments: 10 points. Final Assessment: - Credit-based evaluation: 60 points. - Admission condition: at least 10 points during the semester. Evaluation Organization: Control tests are conducted mid-semester (first module) and at the end (second module). Lecture participation and short individual tasks are evaluated throughout the semester, with summaries for the first and second modules. Completing at least seven laboratory sessions is mandatory for credit.
