Circuit analysis also includes natural and forced response of first-order systems, and AC characteristics in both the time and frequency domains, plus the characteristics of ideal transformers. Some labs add emphasis on design of simple electric circuits to meet a range of performance specifications. Continues non-EE engineering students' survey of electrical engineering. Addresses both design and fleet applications. Includes characteristics and analysis of rotating machines, the applications and models of diodes, op amps, and transistors.
Emphasis is placed on understanding, modeling, and use of amplifiers and switches.
Methods and applications of AM and FM modulation and demodulation and combinational and sequential digital logic are introduced. Emphasis is on large-signal and digital applications of these device models, especially in integrated circuit form. Applications in basic amplifier and switching circuits are emphasized in the weekly laboratory exercises. Principles of radio transmitters and receivers. Tuned impedance-matching circuits.
