Alternating Current Circuits

Catalog description

EET 311 Alternating Current Circuits (4) EET 311 is intended to provide competency in analysis of circuits and application of basic electrical principles including equivalent circuits and models, power and energy, and signal/energy transfer. The course will introduce ideal amplifier models, ideal op-amps and ideal transformers as circuit elements and one-port networks (Thevenin, Norton, and driving point impedance), and two-port networks (Z, Y, H, G, T, and T-l) as equivalent circuits. Since this is the first required course taken by all upper division electrical engineering technology students, ethics and professionalism will be discussed by and expected of the students. This course requires calculus through integral and differential calculus of transcendental functions. It provides the circuit analysis skills required in almost every other EET course and is a specific prerequisite for analysis of signals and systems ( EET 312 ) and understanding semiconductor models and electronic circuits ( EET 330 ).
