Electronic Circuits - analysis and simulations

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Circuit Theory

Synopsis:

Analysis of Electronic Circuits is facultative subject that extends the subjects EO1, EO2, EO3 and complements the EOS. It is focused on analytical methods going from general description of electrical circuits simplifying them to the deeper understanding of their function. The ability for qualified design of electronic circuits can be obtained by studies of the most important phenomena, which can be observed in electronic circuit models. They are studied linear circuit time response for harmonic signal, frequency response of linear circuits (transfer functions poles and zeroes), dominant frequency performance of circuits and feedback and its influence to behavior of circuits, including stability.
