Course Outline and Policy

Description

This course intends to develop problem solving skills and understanding of circuit theory through the application of techniques and principles of electrical circuit analysis to common circuit problems. Subsequently, most common aspects such as filter realization and stability will be elaborated through frequency response analysis, feedback topologies etc. Broadly, the goals of the course are to inculcate understanding of: (a) waveforms, signals, transient, and steady-state responses of RLC circuits, (b) the ability to apply circuit analysis to AC circuits, and (c) advanced mathematical methods such as Laplace and Fourier transforms along with linear algebra and differential equations techniques for solving circuits problems.

Postconditions On the completion of this course the students will be able to:
1. analyze and synthesize simple electrical circuits.
2. find circuit response using Laplace transform.
3. understand signal superposition and Fourier Transform in the context of circuits.
4. use industry standard SPICE tools for simple circuit analysis and synthesis.

  1. Search for the answer yourself. In most cases the answer is available on this page or on assignment handouts
  2. Ask your friend in class
  3. Ask your TA in discussion sessions, or in tutorial
  4. Ask instructor in lecture
  5. Ask instructor in office hours
  6. Send your TA email
  7. Send instructor email. Note that, this is the worst scenario.
