Synopsis
This unit provides foundation knowledge for analogue circuit analysis and design. The fundamentals of linear electronic circuit analysis and design will be introduced alongside the development of skills in using industry-standard prototyping and measurement tools for these tasks. The topics covered in this course include DC and sinusoidal steady-state analysis, transient analysis, equivalent circuits, phasors and complex impedances, feedback concepts, and solid-state electronics, such as diodes, transistors and operational amplifiers.
The unit will provide a grounding in circuit theory leading to solutions of electrical networks with node and mesh analysis, equivalent sources and circuits, and simulation. AC analysis with phasors, first and second-order transient responses will be included.
