Module Learning Strategies
Distance Learning using the Blackboard VLE. The student will engage with the Blackboard site for this module to cover the learning material which includes documents, videos, exercises, reflection, formative and summative assignments. This will occupy the independent study time.
Module Indicative Content
AC source and wave form, complex number and phasors, series and parallel AC circuits, average power and power factor.
Methods of analysis for AC networks, network theorems.
Resonance, series and parallel resonant circuit.
Voltage gain, current gain power gain, decibels, simple RLC filters. Bipolar junction transistor biasing, small signal analysis.
Field effect transistor biasing and small signal analysis.
Frequency response and transfer function, general feedback theory, amplifiers.
