Module summary
Objectives
This module demonstrates the application of engineering mathematics tools to analyse 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 voltages and currents in an electronic circuit;
- apply complex analysis to the description and design of circuits with 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. Analysis of steady-state AC response of RC, RL and RLC circuits. Complex analysis of impedance. Phasors. Real, reactive and apparent power. Passive and active filters. Frequency roll-off and phase shift. Resonant circuits; frequency dependence of impedance; bandwidth & Q factor; filter applications; introduction to Labview; hardware laboratory sessions on RLC circuits and oscillators.
