1. Introduction to Analog Circuits and Network Theory

Analog circuit theory focuses on continuous signals processed through passive and active components. Key theorems and frequency-domain analysis play crucial roles in simplifying circuit analysis and design, while practical applications include voltage dividers and filters. Understanding these concepts underpins the operation and analysis of real-world analog systems.

  • 1.2

    Basic Circuit Elements

    This section covers the fundamental components of electrical circuits, distinguishing between passive and active components, including their characteristics and behavior.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.2.1

    Passive Components

    Passive components are essential circuit elements that consume or store energy in electronic circuits.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.2.2

    Active Components

    Active components in analog circuits are essential devices that rely on an external power source to function, as opposed to passive components.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.3

    Network Theorems

    Network theorems facilitate circuit analysis by providing essential laws and equivalent circuits.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.3.1

    Kirchhoff’s Laws

    Kirchhoff's Laws consist of two fundamental principles: the Current Law (KCL), which deals with the conservation of charge, and the Voltage Law (KVL), which addresses the conservation of energy in electrical circuits.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.3.2

    Thévenin/norton Equivalents

    Thévenin and Norton theorems simplify linear circuit analysis by allowing complex circuits to be replaced with simple equivalent circuits.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.3.3

    Superposition Principle

    The Superposition Principle states that in linear systems, the total response caused by multiple independent sources is equal to the sum of the responses from each source acting alone.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4

    Frequency Domain Analysis

    Frequency Domain Analysis deals with understanding circuits' behavior in terms of frequency rather than time, focusing on transfer functions and Bode plots.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.1

    Transfer Functions

    Transfer functions describe the relationship between input and output signals in the frequency domain, providing insights into the system's behavior.

    Learning Practice

  • 1.4.2

    Bode Plots

    Bode plots are graphical representations used in frequency domain analysis to illustrate the magnitude and phase of a system's transfer function over a range of frequencies.
