Course description
In this course, students will learn the transient phenomena and the distributed element circuit.

(1) Transient phenomena:
　In the electrical circuits, the waveforms of power supply are drastically changed from steady state. The voltage and current of circuit element is also changed by switching. These phenomena are called "transient response". The transient response is closely related to the initial state just before changes. In this class, the transient response for the circuits consist of R, L, and C will be analyzed by using differential equations.

(2) Distributed element circuit:
　Electric circuits are basically analyzed as lumped element circuits, although the circuit elements do not have dimensions, but exist as a point in the space. However, the circuit elements such as R, L, and C have to be handled as the distributed element circuits, in which the circuit elements are spatially distributed, when the frequency of signal is very high and wavelength is shorter than the dimensions of electric circuit. In this class, voltage and current for the transmission lines such as power lines and communication wires will be analyzed.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this class is to acquire analysis methods of transient response for electric circuits consist of R, L, and C, and to acquire analysis methods of voltage and current for the transmission lines such as power lines and communication wires.
Goals and objectives
  1. ･Be able to analyze the transient response of RC or RL circuit, when direct or alternating current is supplied.
  2. ･Be able to analyze the transient response of LC or RLC circuit, when direct current is supplied.
    ･Be able to analyze the transient response of RC or RL circuit, when pulse wave is supplied.
  3. ･Be able to explain the basic concept of distributed element circuits.
    ･Be able to explain the concept of the lossless distributed element circuits.
    ･Be able to analyze the steady state of the distributed constant circuits.
  4. ･Be able to explain the characteristic impedance and boundary condition for the distributed element circuits.
    ･Be able to explain the behavior of distributed element circuits that have voltage and current reflections.
    ･Be able to explain the concept of resonance and standing wave for the transmission lines.
