Course description and aims

The goal of this course is for students to gain an understanding of fundamental approaches for learning electrical engineering, control engineering, and measurement engineering, namely how to handle linear circuits in a frequency domain. Specifically, students will gain an understanding of the complex notation e^(jω) of alternating current and the concept of impedance. On that basis, students will study the basic laws of circuit analysis, resonance circuits, circuit equations, Thevenin's theorem, circuit duality, maximum power transfer theorem, two-terminal pair parameters, and three-phase AC.

Student learning outcomes

[Student learning outcomes] Students will gain an understanding of alternating current theory, in other words jω and the concept of impedance, and learn how to deal with frequency domains through electric circuits.

[Topics] The instructor in this course will explain AC circuits, complex notation, impedance, admittance, resonance circuits, Thevenin's theorem, circuit equations, the principle of duality, two-terminal pair circuits, and three-phase AC, and students will gain an understanding of analysis methods for linear networks.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
