Circuit theory and Analog Electronics (Fall 2003)

Course code : EKRA3-U01
ECTS Credits : 15 Status : Compulsory
Placement : 3. semester Hours per week : 12
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : Danish and English

Principal Content : Concepts and theory:

Independent and dependent generators, resistance, capacitance, inductance.

Ohms law.
Voltage division.
Kirchhoff´s current and voltage law. Node- and mesh-equation.

Thevenin and Norton equivalent.

Power and energy.

Complex frequency ("s"): Transfer function, poles, zeroes, frequency response, Bode plot, natural response, time constant, resonant frequency, quality factor.

Impedance.

Components and methods:

Resistor, capacitor, inductor, operational amplifier.

Computer-based math tools.

Time- and frequency domain circuit simulation.

Time- and frequency domain measurements.
Teaching method : Class teaching composed of overview lectures mixed with partly PC-based exercises.
The class teaching totals 50% of the scheduled class hours, allocated with 100% in the beginning and 0% in the end of the semester.

The teacher will choose 3 exercises, to be compulsory. (Must be handed in and be approved by the teacher)

The rest of the time is used for project work in groups. Supervision is given inside the scheduled class hours. From a given project definition the student is encouraged to go through the engineering (partly iterative) process: Specification*, analysis and design, simulation, construction, test and documentation.
The project is documented by a report and a presentation at the examination (see "Exam:")

*To ensure proper coverage of "main contents", the "specification" will, to some extent, be given in the project definition handed out by the teacher.
Required prequisites : Documented knowledge similar to VKET, KOM1 and DSM2.
