EEEN203 (2024) - Circuit Analysis

Prescription

This course covers the analysis of analogue electrical and electronic circuits. Topics covered include basic circuit theorems, operational amplifier circuits, the use of phasors for AC circuit analysis and the Laplace transform for switched systems. The use of computational and measurement tools for circuit characterisation is also covered.

Course learning objectives

Students who pass this course should be able to:

1. Formulate differential equation-based models of analogue circuits containing passive components and operational amplifiers. (BE graduate attribute 3(a,c))
2. Use a range of circuit analysis techniques to find unknown voltages, currents and power. (BE graduate attribute 3(a))
3. Apply phasor and Laplace transform based circuit analysis techniques. (BE graduate attribute 3(b))
4. Describe, measure and characterise first and second order systems in the frequency domain. (BE graduate attribute 3(b))
5. Competently use electronic test equipment to measure analogue circuit performance. (BE graduate attribute 3(d,e,f))
6. Use industry standard software tools for the analysis of measured circuit data and simulate analogue circuit performance. (BE graduate attribute 3(f))
7. Understand magnetic materials and analyse circuits that use transformers.

Course content

We’ve designed this course for in-person study, and to get the most of out it we strongly recommend you attend lectures on campus. Most assessment items, as well as tutorials/seminars/labs/workshops will only be available in person. Any exceptions for in-person attendance for assessment will be looked at on a case-by-case basis in exceptional circumstances, e.g., through disability services or by approval by the course coordinator.
