PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
It is considered students have successfully completed CISE I, and are therefore able to analyse
linear resistive circuits at a basic level (linearity, superposition, equivalent dipoles, Thevenin,
Norton, controlled sources, etc.).

OBJECTIVES
To introduce circuits as analogue processors for electrical signals. Because of this, both time
and frequency analysis methods are developed, which are especially applied to designing
frequency selective circuits for heavy use in telecommunication systems.
The content of this subject is based on the following topics: Laplace transform circuit, network
functions, sinusoidal steady state, frequency response curves. Applications of frequency
selective circuits in telecommunication systems.
Basic contents of the course are: Concentrated parameter models. Systematic analysis of
electrical and electronic circuits. Circuit theorems. Transient conditions and sinusoidal steady
state. Network functions. Dual ports.
