EET 312Electric Transients

4 credits · Electrical Engineering Technology · Penn State

EET 312 is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in transient circuit analysis in addition to introduction to signals and systems. The primary objective of the course is to reinforce continuous-time system fundamentals in order to prepare the students for more advanced work in a broad range of areas including communications, control, signal processing and image processing. The topics covered in this course include: Applied differential equations; Transient analysis of RC, RL, and RLC circuits, using differential equations; Complex frequency; Network functions; Bode plots and frequency response; Filter networks and resonant circuits; Laplace transform pairs and their applications in circuit analysis; Fourier analysis techniques and their applications in circuit analysis; State-variable circuit analysis. This course is a required course in the Electrical Engineering Technology BS curriculum and is intended to be taken by students who have completed their first circuits course requirements.
