Course of the Master Degree in Physics
The goal of the course (56 hours) is a discussion of the main methods that allow to extract information from a measurement, also in presence of unavoidable noise sources. Upon the completion of the course, a student is expected to become acquainted with those methods, which include different advanced mathematical, numerical and experimental tools.

Course of the Master Degree in Physics
Digital signal processing (DSP) makes up the key topic of modern electronics. Its applications are widespread in fundamental research in experimental physics as well as in a great number of other scientific and technological contexts. DSP is carried out by means of codes running on standard CPUs or, much more efficiently, implemented on programmable logic devices. The course (56 hours) is devoted to both theory (24 hours) and laboratory practice (32 hours) on advanced topics in modern electronics: signal sampling, digital simulation of a linear, time-invariant physical system by means of a digital system, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A particular attention is devoted to the application of these techniques to the practice of experimental physics. At the end of the course, students are expected to master the basics of the topics described above and to use them to implement control systems and real-time processing units by using programmable logic devices.

Course of the Bachelor Degree in Physics
Signal sampling, generation and processing as well as the control of systems make up the key topics of modern electronics. Their applications are widespread in fundamental research in experimental physics as well as in a great number of other scientific and technological contexts. The course (84 hours) addresses these topics both from the theoretical (28 hours) and the experimental (56 lab hours) point of view. The focus is not only on the application of electronics to the practice of experimental physics but also on the physical base of electronics. At the end of the course, students are expected to master the basics of the topics discussed therein and to use them to implement experimental setups.
