Objectives The student is expected to acquire fundamental skills in circuit formulation, circuit analysis and computer-aided simulation in time-domain, Laplace transform domain, and in phasor representation.

Synopsis Lumped circuits and circuit components, including electrically and magnetically coupled elements. Time-domain response of first-order circuits and second-order circuits. Zero-input and zero-state responses; linear time-invariant properties. Sinusoidal steady-state response of circuits. Phasor diagrams, complex power and power factor. Network theorems; superposition, Thevenin-Norton, substitution and maximum-power-transfer. Laplace transform and its properties. Inverse Laplace transform by partial fraction expansion. Circuit analysis in s-domain. Network functions in s-domain. Pole-zero representation. Frequency characteristics by Bode plot.
