EE221 – Frequency Domain Circuit
Analysis (2nd Circuits course)
Prerequisites:
MA 227 (Calculus 3) and EE213 (Circuits 1 or equiv.) 3
Credits 45 hours
Description:
Students perform frequency domain analysis of passive and active circuits,
study transient and AC circuit analysis manually and with computer-aided
applications, and examine the transient response of first and second order
circuits. The course introduces pole and zero concepts and applies them to
circuit analysis, and introduces computer methods of circuit analysis and
design.
Class
