EE221: Frequency Domain Circuit Analysis
(2nd Circuits course)
Prerequisite: MA 227 and EE213 (or equiv.) 3 Credits 45 hours
Description: Review fundamental circuit analysis techniques. Perform frequency domain analysis of passive and active circuits. The student will solve transient and AC circuit analysis by manual means and with computer aided applications. The student is expected to use PSpice or Electronic Workbench, and MathCAD or MatLab for computer circuit analysis. Pole and zero concepts are introduced and applied to circuit analysis. The design process using MatLab for Active Filters is introduced and several examples are done in class. EE Lab2 should be taken concurrently or as soon as practical after taking this course.
