COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is an exploratory, second advance course in circuit theory primarily designed for
students in electrical and electronics engineering discipline. The focus of the course is to impart
useful skills on the students in order to enhance their circuit synthesis capability since no
electrical/electronics engineering graduate will be versatile in the field without a good
knowledge of modern circuit analysis and synthesis methods. Hence, this course is design to
provide fundamental knowledge on circuit analysis and network synthesis. Topics to be covered
include: Advanced Circuit Analysis, Non Linear Circuit Analysis, Filter – design and operation
and Active Network Synthesis using Foster and Cauer’s forms.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this course are to:
introduce students to different methods involves in realising network system from
transfer functions;
provide students with basic information involves on how to work with Fourier
transforms, and using them to analyze circuits in frequency domain; and
provide students with required knowledge on how to apply inverse Laplace transforms to
obtain time-domain expressions from frequency domain.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES / COMPETENCIES
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
(Knowledge based)
synthesis network system from their transfer functions;
analysis network systems using both initial-value and final-value theorems;
design and develop basic filter networks
GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE COURSE
This course will be graded as follows:
Practical 10%
Assignments 10%
Test(s) 20%
Final Examination 60%
TOTAL 100%
SUPPORTING MATERIALS
We need to recommend at least four textbooks to the students.
