ENGT 271 — Engineering Circuit Theory II
This is the second engineering course in basic circuit theory and design. Analysis techniques in this course include application of Laplace transforms and differential equations with initial conditions to provide solutions to switched and steady state multi-ordered circuits. This course covers frequency analysis and the study of passive and active filter circuits. Circuit stability, the understanding of poles/zeros, and the use of Fourier transforms are also covered to introduce the student to circuit frequency response and Bode plot analysis and specification. Students are also introduced to graphical convolution and Fourier series as it applies to circuit analysis. Assignments and lab project activities require the design, implementation, and measurement of filters and other circuits to meet design specifications. Class instruction includes using Metlab and Multisim, in addition to hands-on circuit design and analysis. Three lecture and two laboratory hours per week.
