Contact Hours and Credits: ( 3 -0- 0 ) 3

Objectives: 

  • To make the students capable of analyzing any given electrical network.
  • To make the students learn how to synthesize an electrical network from a given impedance/admittance function.

Topics Covered:

Network concept. Elements and sources. Kirchoff’s laws. Tellegen’s theorem. Network equilibrium equations. Node and Mesh method. Source superposition. Thevenin’s and Norton’s theorems. Network graphs.

First and second order networks. State equations. Transient response. Network functions.  Determination of the natural frequencies and mode vectors from network functions.

Sinusoidal steady-state analysis. Maximum power-transfer theorem. Resonance. Equivalent and dual networks. Design of equalizers.

Two-port network parameters. Interconnection of two port networks. Barlett’s bisection theorem. Image and Iterative parameters. Design of attenuators.

Two-terminal network synthesis. Properties of Hurwitz polynomial and Positive real function. Synthesis of LC, RC and RL Networks, Foster Forms and Cauer Forms.

Course Outcomes:

Students are able to

  • CO1: apply the knowledge of basic circuital law and simplify the network using reduction techniques
  • CO2: Analyze the circuit using  Kirchhoff’s law and  Network simplification theorems
