L N Binh
4 points * 26 lectures, 12 tutorials, 12 laboratory hours * First semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: ECS1310 at PI level, PHS1810, PHS1820 at PI level and MAT1920 * Corequisites: ECS2320 (Electromagnetic theory I) and MAT2910 (Engineering mathematics III)
Lumped circuits and circuit components: ideal lumped circuit elements and analogies, independent and dependent sources, ideal transformers and gyrators. First-order and second-order circuits: zero-input response and zero-state response, complete response. Node and mesh analysis of linear time-invariant (LTIV) circuits: impulse, step and ramp responses. Sinusoidal steady-state response of LTIV circuits: phasor representation, phasor diagrams, network functions and frequency response, complex power and power factor. Coupled circuits and coupling elements: circuits with dependent sources, transformers and gyrators. Measurements: errors and their estimation, measuring instruments, bridge circuits. Network theorems: superposition, Thevenin's and Norton's theorems, maximum power transfer. Network graphs and analysis: nodes and branches as linear graphs, cut-sets and loops, node analysis and mesh analysis, trees, cut-set analysis and loop analysis, Tellegen's theorem, duality, proper trees and state equations for LTIV networks, solutions via the computer program SPICE.
