2017
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject studies time domain and frequency domain analysis of linear time-invariant analog and digital systems. Topics include steady-state AC analysis and phasor techniques, resonant circuits, transient analysis, the Fourier and the Laplace Transform. Also studied are transfer functions, poles and zeros, pole-zero plots in the s-plane, characteristics of the s-plane, stability in the s-plane and Bode plots. Frequency response of digital and analog systems are also studied.
