ECE 320 Fall 2003 Final Exam Study Guide (posted Dec 16, 2003)

The final exam will have 6 or 7 problems, and should be do-able in the 2 hr. time alloted (unlike some of the midterms!). The topics for the final exam are: (Note: An '*' indicates an important topic that is likely to be tested):

1. Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis (Ch 9)
1.1 Phasors
1.2 Impedance, Delta-Wye and Wye-Delta conversions
1.3 Source Transformations (Thevenin, Norton equivalents)
1.4 Using NVA and Mesh-Current to analyze circuits

2. Sinusoidal Steady-State Power Calculations (Ch 10)
2.1 Instantaneous, Average (P) and Reactive (Q) Power *
2.2 Power Factor (pf) *
2.3 Complex Power (S) *
2.4 Power Calculations on circuits *
2.5 Maximum Power Transfer

3. Balanced Three-Phase Circuits (Ch 11)
3.1 Balanced Three-Phase Voltages
3.2 Wye-Wye, Wye-Delta Circuits *
3.3 Power Calculations in Balanced Three-Phase Circuits *
3.3.1 Single Phase Equivalent Circuits
3.3.2 Calculating the line,phase voltages and/or line/phase currents from the single-phase equivalent circuit

4. Laplace Transforms (Ch 12)
4.1 Step and Impulse Functions
4.2 Operational and Functional Transforms (use Tables 12.1 and 12.2)
4.4 Inverse L.T. (finding the Partial Fraction Expansion)

5. The Laplace Transform in Circuit Analysis (Ch 13)
5.1 S-domain equivalent circuits (w/ or w/o initial conditions) *
5.2 The Transfer Function *
5.3 Convolution *
5.4 The impulse function in ckt analysis

6. Passive Filters (Ch 14)
6.1 Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass, Band-Reject filters- Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses
6.2 Filter Parameters (center freq, bandwidth, Quality factor, cutoff freqs.) *
6.3 Bode Plots (Real and Complex Cases) *
6.3.1 Magnitude Plots- straight line & corrected plots
6.3.2 Phase Plots

7. Active Filters (Ch 15)
7.1 First Order LP, HP, BP and BR filters
7.2 Scaling *
7.3 Significance of higher-order filters
7.4 Cascaded Higher order filters
7.5 Butterworth filters *
7.5.1 Circuits
7.5.2 Computing the order required based on the filter specifications

SKIP: Section 15.5 (Narrow BP and BR filters) since we have not covered it in class.

NOTES:

1. Ch 9 will not specifically be on the test, but it is a good idea to review it, since some of the techniqes introduced in it are used in solving problems in Chs 10 and 11.

2. Similarly the techniques introduced in Ch 12 are used to solve problems in Chs 13, 14 and 15 (namely, computing the LT and Inverse LT).

Also, a reminder: The final-exam is scheduled on: Thursday, Dec 18 from 8:00-10:00 am at Koffler 218 (our regular classroom). The final is COMPULSORY. You are allowed 4 cheat sheets.
