Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Apply the Laplace transform to analyze the transient behavior of electrical circuits in response to unit-step and unit-impulse inputs. Apply the principles of superposition, transfer functions and convolution to analyze filter circuits. Obtain Bode diagrams for higher order filter circuits with both simple and complex poles and zeros. State the concept of two-port networks and their interconnections and demonstrate the derivation of impedance, admittance, voltage, and current gain parameters. Use the Fourier series to represent non-sinusoidal functions in terms of multiple sine waves. Use simulation tools, including SPICE, to compute the performance of complex passive networks.
