Fall 2025 Laboratory Lecture Credit By ExaminationLower Division
AC Circuits including the j operator, phasors, reactance and impedance are studies. Circuit laws, network theorems, and the application of circuit analysis techniques to amplifiers used in power electronics, including power MOS devices, thyristors, and other appropriate applications. Computer-aided analysis of circuits is used.
Learning Outcomes1Calculate phasor and time domain representation of a sine wave.
2Analyze series, parallel and series-parallel passive and active AC circuits.
3Analyze multi-loop, multi-source AC circuits using advanced techniques.
4Analyze and design given series and parallel resonance circuits.
5Compute the average voltage, rms voltage and power produced by a wide variety of waveshapes using integral definitions.
6Describe the linear performance of MOS devices.
7Analyze and design linear power amplifiers using op amps and MOS devices.
8Apply thyristors, snubbing, thyristor triggers and proportional interfaces.
9Evaluate the performance of a variety of AC circuits, using appropriate standard laboratory measurement procedures and simulations.
