Course Description:

This course discusses the principles of linear circuit analysis dealing with the frequency domain. It is designed such that at the end of the course, students are competent and able to solve AC circuit problems using techniques in the frequency domain. In particular, topics include complex algebra and phasors; simple AC circuits, impedance and admittance; mesh and node analysis for AC circuit; AC network theorems; power in AC circuits; resonance; three-phase circuits; transformer; two-port network parameters and transfer functions.

Course Outline:

I.  Second Order Circuits

II.  Parallel RLC Circuits

III.  RC Filters

IV.  RC Integrators Circuits

V.  RMS Voltage

VI.  Filter Circuits

VII.  Transformers

VIII.  Project (pending)

*Topics and activities are subject to change depending on the lessons taken in ELC 106.1 lecture class

Lab Rules

1.  Each exercise is graded on a 100-point basis. The score will be based on the lab performance (60%) and the quality of the written report (40%). All exercises must be defended either through an exam or an oral defense which is also 100 points. Orals are on an individual basis. Each lab activity is worth 200 points.

2.  In the performance of an experiment, all necessary data/diagram/listing must be copied on a bond paper. This is to be signed by the teacher at the end of the lab period. This signed paper must be included in the submission of the lab report. A deduction of 5 points per day for late presentation will be enforced.

3.  A lab report is null and void if submitted without a data sheet signed by the instructor. A deduction of 5 points per day for late reports will be enforced. Lab reports must be submitted on or before 5 pm one week after the lab experiment.

4.  Lab reports must be type-written or printed and must follow the IEEE format.

5.  Cleanliness and order must be kept in the lab. Things to do before leaving the lab: store all equipment properly, clean your table of visible debris, arrange the chairs. You are responsible for your own work area.

Academic Integrity / Dishonesty

Consistent with Section 15 item 2 of the Education Act of 1982 on Students’ Responsibilities, students are expected to uphold the academic integrity of the University, endeavor to achieve academic excellence and abide by the rules and regulations governing their academic responsibilities and moral integrity.

Academic (Intellectual) dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarizing, having unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of other students. Those who are caught committing acts of academic dishonesty automatically get a zero for that particular course work. Cheating in any major course work (e.g. long exam, final exam) will merit an “F” in the course . (p. 31, Student Handbook, 2002 edition)
