Module summary
In order to pass this module, students must obtain a mark of at least 30% in the final examination, as well as obtaining an overall mark of at least 40% for the module.Objectives
This module demonstrate the application of engineering mathematics tools to describe the time-dependent behaviour of electronic circuits and to carry out quantitative circuit design.Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to ...
- explain the concept of a phasor and the use of phasors to describe phase differerences between electronic signals
- apply complex analysis to the description and design of circuits including resistors, capacitors and inductors.
- design low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-stop filters
Syllabus
Analysis of transient response of RC and RL and RLC circuits. AC response of RC, RL and RLC circuits. Complex analysis of impedance. Phasors. Real, reactive and apparent power. Low and high pass filters. Roll-off and phase shift. Resonant circuits; frequency dependence of impedance; bandwidth & Q factor; filter applications; introduction to Labview.
