- Instructor:
- Eugenio Schuster,
1801 EBUI, 822-2406, schuster@mae.ucsd.edu
- Teaching Assistants:
- Rafael Vazquez, rvazquez@ucsd.edu, (discussion sessions and office hours).

- Text:
- Thomas and Rosa, Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 3rd edition .
- Material Covered:
- We will work through Chapters 1-4 in order. Chapter 6 will be covered briefly and will be integrated with Chapter 4.
We will work through Chapter 9-10 and use the techniques learned in these chapters to solve the kind of circuits
presented in Chapter 7. We will do a little work in Chapter 11 and 12 to learn how to design active filters covered
in Chapter 14.
- Topics:
-
- Kirchoff's current and voltage laws.
- Nodal and Mesh Analysis.
- Equivalent Circuits.
- Thevenin-Norton theorems.
- Passive Circuits: Resistive circuits, RLC circuits.
- Active Circuits: Dependent sources and operational amplifiers.
- Laplace transform. Transfer functions.
- Network functions.
- Frequency response. Bode diagrams.
- Filter design.
- Official prerequisites:
- A grade of C- or better in Math 20D or 21D, and Physics 2B.
- Admission to the Department of MAE (formerly AMES), Structures, or Bioengineering.
