EE221 – Frequency Domain Circuit Analysis (2nd Circuits course)
Prerequisites:
MA 227 (Calculus 3) and EE213 (Circuits 1 or equiv.) 3 Credits 45
hours
Description: Review fundamental circuit analysis
techniques. Perform frequency domain
analysis of passive and active circuits.
The student will solve transient and AC circuit analysis by manual means
and with computer aided applications.
The student is expected to use PSpice or Electronic Workbench, and
MathCAD or MatLab for computer circuit analysis. Pole and zero concepts are introduced and
applied to circuit analysis. The design
process using MatLab for Active Filters is introduced and several examples are
done in class.
Class location
is Bannow 166, Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
