Circuit theory and Analog Electronics (Spring 2008)

Course code : EKRA3A-U1
ECTS Credits : 20 Status : Compulsory
Placement : 3. semester Hours per week : 16
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 and system simulation. Time- and frequency domain measurements.

Systems: Description of models for technical systems, such as electrical systems and other mixed systems. Analogies. Experimental modeling using frequency characteristics. Solution methods for mathematical models, including Laplace transformation. Simulation and verification of mathematical models.
Teaching method : Class teaching composed of overview lectures mixed with partly PC-based exercises. The class teaching totals ~60% of the scheduled class hours, allocated with 75% in the beginning, 50% in the 10th to the 14th semester week and 0% in the end of the semester. 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, modeling, simulation, verification, design, test and documentation. Assignments and Projects are documented by one or more records of answers or reports 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, DSM1 and DSM2.
