Prerequisites: EE 030A, EE 030LA
Description: Covers steady-state analysis of electric circuits using phasors and Laplace transform. Discusses Fourier series, frequency response, Bode plots, and passive filters. Also includes current-voltage characteristics and small-signal approximations of non-linear devices such as diodes, bipolar-junction transistors, and field-effect transistors. Addresses modeling of electric circuits with Spice. EE 030LA Fundamentals of Elec Circuits I Laboratory 1 Laboratory, 3 hours. Prerequisite(s): concurrent enrollment in EE 030A; PHYS 040C, may be taken concurrently or PHYS 040HC, may be taken concurrently; 2 of the following: MATH 045, EE 020B, MATH 046, EE 020A, EE 020. Provides laboratory experiments tied to the lecture material of EE 030A. Covers resistive circuits, network theorems, operational amplifiers, and transient response. Includes application of Spice to circuit analysis.
