Vorlesung "Electrical Engineering"

News

The course information will be provided via Moodle. Please register there in the course "Electrical Engineering".

Due to the Corona pandemia, we can offer this lecture only on-line by video streams (in our Moodle course). At the lecture times, we will have live Zoom meetings.

Content of the lecture

  • Circuit analysis: Network analysis, Thevenin and Norton equivalent circuits, superposition principle, linearity, capacitors & inductors, transformers
  • Analysis of transients: Frequency analysis, filters etc.: Frequency response, logarithmic scale, Bode diagram, low pass, high pass, 2nd order low pass etc.
  • Fourier and Laplace transformation: Transfer function, step, pulse response, convolution
