Circuits and Signals

Learning Outcomes

• At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:
  
  
• LO1: Apply circuit analysis methods to determine current flows, voltage distributions, and power absorption for direct-current (DC) and alternating-current (AC) circuits (WA1)
  
  
• LO2: Model circuit components and sources using mathematical techniques and apply numerical simulations using modern circuit simulation packages to solve these models (WA1, WA5)
  
  
• LO3: Use different methods, laws, rules and theorems to analyse, troubleshoot, simplify and design complex electrical circuits, accounting for transient, dynamic behaviour and the frequency response of these circuits (WA1, WA2, WA3, WA4)
  
  
• LO4: Communicate circuit behaviour effectively to aid circuit and filter design using analytical and visual techniques (WA10)
  
  
• LO5: Identify the applications and limitations of current and emerging components and analysis techniques in the design of electrical circuits (WA3, WA5, WA12)
