UO Circuits and Signals

Course aim

To provide students with a firm foundation in electrical DC and AC circuit analysis, and the ability to use computer software for circuit simulation and analysis.

Course content

This course will build on the basic principles of electrical and electronic theories. The course will introduce circuit analysis techniques such as nodal analysis, mesh analysis, linearity and superposition techniques, Thevenin and Norton Theorems. The course will introduce second order transients and move into steady state power analysis, magnetically coupled networks and polyphase circuits. Eventuating with exploring variable frequency network performance, frequency response and the relationship of poles zeros on the bode plots. The course will introduce the use of computer-based tools for design and circuit analysis.
