Circuit theory II

K K Pang

2 points · 24 lectures and 6 laboratory hours · First semester · Clayton · Prerequisites: ECS2310 · Corequisites: MAT3910

Objectives The student is expected to acquire proficiency in the use of the Laplace transform for circuit analysis and an understanding of network functions, standard network theorems and various two-port descriptions including scattering parameters.

Synopsis Laplace transforms: applications to LTIV circuits and systems. Network functions: poles and zeros, natural frequencies. Network theorems: substitution, superposition, Thevenin-Norton and reciprocity theorems. Two-port description of networks: Y, Z, h and T parameters, interconnection of two-ports, equivalent two-ports, ladder and lattice networks. Scattering parameters, conditions for losslessness and passivity, multiple reflections at network interfaces.

Assessment Examination (2 hours): 80% · Assignments: 10% · Laboratory work: 10%
