DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2020

AC circuits, including the j operator, phasors, reactance, and impedance are studied. Circuit laws, network theorems, and the fundamental concepts of Fourier analysis are applied and used in the study of topics such as passive filters, IC filters, amplifiers, resonant circuits, single phase and three phase circuits. Computer aided analysis of circuits is used.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Use complex numbers, the j operator, and phasors to analyze AC electrical circuits.
  2. Analyze series, parallel, and series-parallel passive and active AC circuits.
  3. Analyze multi-loop, multi-source AC circuits using mesh or nodal analysis.
  4. Apply parameters associated with an amplifier’s frequency response, gain bandwidth and slew rate.
  5. Derive frequency response transfer functions for simple passive and active networks.
  6. Apply Fourier analysis techniques to calculate the response of passive and active networks to non-sinusoidal signals.
  7. Analyze and design series and parallel resonant circuits.
  8. Compute real, reactive, and apparent power, and the power factor.
  9. Analyze three-phase Y and delta networks.
  10. Evaluate the performance of each of the circuits described above, using standard laboratory measurement procedures, and simulations.
