AC Circuit Analysis

Catalog description

An introduction to AC circuit analysis using phasors in conjunction with the techniques covered in ENGE 211 . Topics include AC steady state analysis, AC power, three phase circuits, and advanced circuit analysis using Fourier analysis. Semiconductor electronic devices will also be introduced, with the focus being on the terminal characteristics of such devices. The two-terminal diodes (D) and the three-terminal transistors (Q) are studied in AC circuits. Laboratory experiments are an essential and integral part of the theory students will learn in this course. Experiments will focus on building, measuring, and calculating the predicted responses of AC circuits. Minimum grade of "C."
