DESCRIPTION
This course will guide you through the basic principles of ideal linear time-invariant electrical circuits and will provide you with the main tools for a full comprehension of their behavior. The basic circuit elements will be explained, together with the main laws deriving from their connection. The main methods for circuit analysis, efficiently merging the information on circuit components, and circuit topology will be introduced and described.
Properties of circuits will be studied in the time domain, where the input-output relationship leads to the convolution integral, and then extended to transformed domains - namely the frequency and Laplace transform domains - showing how the problem of circuit analysis can be correspondingly simplified. The important concepts of network function and circuit stability will be presented, leading to the definitions of circuit steady state response and alternate power analysis. Finally, basic concepts related to logic circuits will be presented, followed by a description of main semiconductor devices: diodes and transistors.
Every section of the course will be accompanied by simple practical examples in order to illustrate the main theoretical concepts. At the end of this course, you will have acquired the ability to analyze the behavior of electrical circuits, along with a comprehension of their usage in practical and meaningful applications.
