BE 206 - Biomedical Signals and Systems I3 lecture hours 3 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This course introduces students to transient analysis of linear systems primarily through the use of first and second order circuits with step inputs in the time domain. This is followed by analysis of general circuits using Laplace techniques. Transfer functions are treated in Laplace and sinusoidal steady state form. Bode plots are introduced. Circuit analysis techniques are applied analogously to selected examples from thermal, mechanical, or fluid systems. Circuit simulation software is used to support and enhance hand analysis. (prereq: EE 201 , MA 235 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Define and explain terms used to describe first and second order systems
