Course Description
This course addresses the following topics: Circuit and system analysis using Laplace transforms, frequency selective circuits (Filters), mutual inductance, introduction to two-port networks and three-phase power networks.
This course will also emphasize on the exploration of circuit design issues using computational supports such as Workbench, Mathcad and Matlab.
Textbook:
James W. Nilsson and Susan A. Riedel: Electric Circuits, 5th Edition (Addison-Wesley, Reading, Massachusetts 1996)
Contents:
- Balanced Three-Phase Circuits (Chapter 11)
- Mutual Inductance (Chapter 12)
- Introduction to the Laplace Transform (Chapter 13)
- The Laplace Transform in Circuit Analysis (Chapter 14)
- Introduction To Frequency-Selective Circuits (Chapter 15)
- Active Filter Circuits (Chapter 16)
- Two Ports Circuits (Chapter 19)

Course Weights
Assignments:
- Approximately one homework per chapter.
- Solution must be handed in for grading on or before the due date.
- An assignment submitted after the due date will be penalized.
- Solutions to assignments and tests will be put in the reserve room at the library.
Quizzes:
Announced and unannounced short quizzes (15 min.) will be assigned at the beginning of the lecture time. These written interrogations are supposed to help students keep up with the course material on a continuous basis.

Projects
Scope:
The laboratory project consists of the design, simulation and assembling of an active filter whose specifications are assigned to you by the instructor.
At the end you will give an oral presentation of the project in class.
The Objectives of the project are:
- to illustrate material taught in lectures about frequency selective circuits.
- to get acquainted with the design of filters.
- to learn how to assemble, simulate and test a filter.
Project Report:
Reports will be graded on how well they are written, organized and the relevance of their
content.
Project Report: Oral Presentation:
You will present your project to the class for 15 to 20 minutes. If a group of two
students are sharing the same project, each one should have an equal role during the
presentation. You will be judged on how well each member fits into the presentation, and
the overall team effectiveness.

Study Tips
If you have difficulty with problems in this course, I suggest the following:
Work through the examples given in the relevant chapters in your textbook.
Look over the examples given in class and in your textbook.
Come and see me about your difficulty, either directly after class (I am quite prepared to stay around to help you if there is no class directly after ours), or else come to myoffice (Building 7, room 120). You do not need an appointment and I am around most of the time .
Students are encouraged to work together on finding solutions to the problem assignments.
However, copying of solutions from another student is not permitted. Cheating or plagiarism can result in a reduction of the mark given for the course, or expulsion from the University.
