EECE 311:Linear Circuits II
Prerequisites:EECE 211;MATH 260 (may be taken
concurrently)
Required for EE, CMPE and MECA majors
Catalog Description: Circuit
analysis techniques for networks with both independent and
dependent sources. Network topology. Natural and forced responses
for RLC circuits. Complex frequency, poles, and zeros.
Magnetically coupled circuits and two-port networks. Introduction
to linear algebra, circuit simulation using PSPICE, and
mathematical analysis using MATLAB. Formerly ECE 140.
Course Objectives:
- teach AC/DC circuit analysis with dependent and independent
sources using Superposition, Thevenin and Norton theorems
- teach students to calculate and plot the transient response
of first- and second-order networks
- explain phasors, impedance, complex frequency, and
resonance
- teach students to calculate AC steady-state response, AC
power, power factor, rms signal levels, and frequency response
of networks
- teach the analysis of circuits that include mutual
inductance and transformers
- teach students to derive and analyze two-port networks with
y, z, t, and h parameters
- demonstrate the use PSpice to find transient and frequency
response of networks
Course Outcomes:
Students shall be able to:
- analyze linear circuits using Superposition Theorem
- analyze Thevenin and Norton equivalent of circuits with
independent and dependent sources
- calculate solution of 1st order linear differential
equations for R-L and R-C circuits with or without forced
sources (natural and complete responses)
- calculate solution of 2nd order linear differential
equations for R-L-C circuits with or without forced sources
(natural and complete responses)
- analyze overdamped, critically damping, and underdamped
parallel and series RLC circuits
- determine complex frequency for AC circuits, find H(s) for
Vout/Vin, Iout/Iin, etc.
- find frequency response for AC circuits, including
low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters
- calculate power, current, voltage, and impedance in
magnetically coupled circuits, especially by mutual
inductance
- derive admittance parameters, impedance parameters, and
hybrid parameters in two-port networks
- simulate RLC networks using PSPICE
Class/Laboratory schedule:
- One hundred and fifty minutes a week lecture

EECE 311 |
Circuit analysis techniques for networks with
both independent and dependent sources. Network topology. Natural
and forced response for RLC circuits. Complex frequency, poles and
zeros. Magnetically coupled circuits and two-port networks.
|
Assessment will be based on an evaluation of
selected assignments for each student in ECE 140. A minimum of 4
assignments or exam problems will be evaluated throughout the
semester.
|
A student will demonstrate successful
completion of this outcome by achieving a score of 4 out of 8 (based on
the assessment rubric shown in the attached table) on three class
assignments and one examination problem.
|
Students must meet the standard of 4 on the four assignments evaluated throughout the semester. |
