AC STEADY-STATE ANALYSIS
LEARNING GOALS
SINUSOIDS
Review basic facts about sinusoidal signals
SINUSOIDAL AND COMPLEX
FORCING FUNCTIONS
Behavior of circuits with sinusoidal independent sources
and modeling of sinusoids in terms of complex exponentials
PHASORS
Representation of complex exponentials as vectors. It
facilitates
steady-state analysis of circuits.
IMPEDANCE AND
ADMITANCE
Generalization of the familiar concepts of resistance and
conductance to describe AC steady state circuit operation
PHASOR DIAGRAMS
Representation of AC voltages and currents as complex vectors
BASIC AC ANALYSIS USING KIRCHHOFF LAWS
ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
Extension of node, loop, Thevenin and other techniques
