EE 201 - Linear Networks: Steady-State Analysis

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the topics of steady-state analysis of networks using time and frequency domain methods with linear circuit models. It includes the topics mesh and nodal analysis, source transformations, network theorems, and complex power. Circuit simulation is also introduced for analysis of steady-state circuits. (prereq: MA 137  or MA 225)
