EEC 241 Circuit Analysis
(2-2-3) This course is a rigorous exposition of circuit analysis techniques that will enable the student to analyze any linear circuit, whether driven by DC or AC sources, or more complex waveforms, e.g., pulse or exponential signals. An important objective of the course is to introduce the student to the relationship between the time-domain and frequency-domain representation of signals, through the use of Fourier series and transforms (for periodic signals) and Laplace transforms (for transient or pulsed signals). The ability to move readily between these two representations of circuit (and system) behavior will benefit students in the Systems Integration Engineering program as they move into further study of control, automation, and communications systems. The course also aims to begin the student's journey into circuit design, by introducing the student to more advanced circuit subblocks, such as filters, amplifiers, A-to-D and D-to-A converters, sensor circuits, and magnetically coupled circuits, etc.
