Nottingham Analogue Mentor Arm

Send

The Nottingham Analogue Mentor Arm (NAMA) is a specialized hardware developed by the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Nottingham in collaboration with the Department of Physics. The NAMA is an analog hardware device designed to provide hands-on learning and practical experience in analog electrical and electronic engineering concepts, which are the prerequisites for implementing modern digital systems. The NAMA is equipped with operational amplifiers, voltage dividers, voltage followers, integrators, filters, and other analog components, which are essential for electronic circuit design and analysis. It offers students the opportunity to experiment with these components, and gain insights into their characteristics, performance, and limitations in practical applications. The NAMA enables students to develop their practical skills and theoretical knowledge in analog circuit design, circuit simulation, and signal processing, which are fundamental for professional careers in the field of electrical and electronic engineering. Additionally, the NAMA gives researchers the ability to test and validate their analog and mixed-signal system designs before moving to the fabrication stage, thus reducing costs and time spent in the fabrication process. Consequently, the NAMA serves as a valuable resource for both students and researchers in the area of electrical and electronic engineering, particularly for practicing analog designs that support modern digital systems.
