The Path

Circuits!
Generalize circuits into arbitrary linear systems
Analyzing linear systems by hand is painful (so much algebra, time derivatives…)

Three capacitors in a circuit = 3rd order differential equation. YUCK

Introducing the frequency domain!

This is a pivotal moment. You will live and breathe in this domain for at least the remainder of your time here. The Fourier domain pops up in signal processing, power transfer, energy, communications, matrix/vector multiplication, antenna arrays, and so much more.
So powerful that even quantum computing still uses it.
The only 3-of-5 for EEs that doesn’t feature the Fourier domain is ECE391. Boring class anyway.

Phasors - single sinusoid, steady state only
Fourier series: Periodic functions, steady state only
Fourier Transform: Almost all functions, steady state only
Laplace Transform: Almost all functions, transient and steady state solutions

RL, RC, RLC Circuit

▪ RL and RC circuits require setting up and solving a first-order ODE
▪ RLC circuits require setting up and solving a second-order

At the steady state,

Capacitors act as open circuits
Inductors act as wires

Continuous functions of time:

Voltage across a capacitor
Current through an inductor

Conceptual Questions (30 seconds each)

ECE ILLINOIS

A system converts its input f(t) = 64.27cos(2t+3000pi) + 20.3cos(4t) into a steady-state output

y(t) = 1038sin(2t – 1.25pi). Is the system LTI? Why?

Phasors, Co-sinusoids, and Impedance

ECE ILLINOIS

Once you’ve converted every circuit element in the phasor domain, you can analyze the circuit using all the ways covered in the first midterm!!!

Node Voltage
Superposition
Loop Current
Source Transformations

NOTE: The solution obtained after analysis with the phasor method is the STEADY STATE SOLUTION !!!

Steps to Find a Filter

Remember, scale your input

So response is output / input

In order to determine type of filter, evaluate |H(w)| at 0, ∞, and in between (possibly at w0)

High Pass

|H(0)|=0

|H(∞)|=1

Low Pass

|H(0)|=1

|H(∞)|=0

Band Pass

|H(0)|=0 |H(w0)|>0

|H(∞)|=0

Other properties of Fourier Series

Division by 0 IS BAD. If a coefficient depends on division by 0, find it using another method.
For discontinuities in the sequence: the Fourier series converges to the middle of the discontinuity.
Gibbs phenomenon: there are ripples that appear right before a big jump, which we can only get rid of if we let n go to infinity.

Conditions for existence and usage of Fourier Series:
- f(t) must be periodic (nonperiodic signals are dealt with using a Fourier Transform, you’ll learn this very soon ;)
- f(t) must be absolutely integrable.
- There must be a finite number of maxes and mins over one period, and a finite number of finite discontinuities over one period.
