 ELEC2004 - Circuits, Signals and Systems

Semester 2, 2008

Announcements

30/07/2008 : Errors in Chapter 5 of text - Exercises 5.2-1 to 5.2-4 all have the polarity of the sources incorrect. In Exercise 5.6-2, the rightmost resistor should be 3R not 30R.

31/7/2008: In the online solution for 5.5-3, the transition from the second last step to the last step is wrong. Is = 87/16.

5/8/2008: For DP6-5, R2 for the inverting amp should be 2Mohm. In the final paragraph on the page, it is the gain of the non-inverting amplifier that does not depend on the resistance of the microphone.

Course Summary

Course Code(s):

ELEC2004

Unit Value:

#2

Contact Hours:

2 hours lecture, 2 hours tutorial, 2 hours practical every second week.

Purpose:

ELEC2004 introduces the concept of the frequency domain and its application to electric circuits. The frequency domain opens up a whole new way of intuitively analysing and designing electronic circuits. Understanding how circuits respond to different frequencies is the basis for understanding modern communications and signal processing, analog electronics and power systems. The frequency domain also explains the behaviour of circuits in the time domain, providing the basis for automatic control system design and switching electronics. The concepts learnt in this class provide the basis for the intuitive understanding of circuits, signals and systems that are the key to effective engineering analysis and design.
