COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is an exploratory, second advance course in circuit theory primarily designed for
students in electrical and electronics engineering discipline. The focus of the course is to impart
useful skills on the students in order to enhance their circuit synthesis capability since no
electrical/electronics engineering graduate will be versatile in the field without a good
knowledge of modern circuit analysis and synthesis methods. Hence, this course is design to
provide fundamental knowledge on circuit analysis and network synthesis. Topics to be covered
include: Transfer Function Realisability - using Foster and Cauer forms of realizing network
system; Fourier Series – representation of continuous time periodic signals, calculations of
Fourier coefficients, continuous time and discrete Fourier series and Fourier transform; Laplace

1
Transformation and its Application – with emphasis on Laplace transform applications on
steady and transient state analysis of circuits; and Filter – design and operation.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this course are to:
 introduce students to different methods involves in realising network system from
transfer functions;
 provide students with basic information involves on how to work with Fourier
transforms, and using them to analyze circuits in frequency domain; and
 provide students with required knowledge on how to apply inverse Laplace transforms to
obtain time-domain expressions from frequency domain.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES / COMPETENCIES

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
(Knowledge based)
 synthesis network system from their transfer functions;
 analysis network systems using both initial-value and final-value theorems;
 classify even and odd symmetrical system as well as even and odd harmonics.
(Skill)
 design and develop basic filter networks

GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE COURSE

This course will be graded as follows:
Practical 10%
Assignments 10%
Test(s) 20%
Final Examination 60%
TOTAL 100%

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures and also participate in
all practical exercises. Students should have at least 60% attendance to qualify him or her for the
final examination. Attendance records will be kept and used to determine each person’s
qualification. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of absence, the student must
communicate as soon as possible with any of the instructors, indicating the reason for the
absence.

Academic Integrity: Violations of academic integrity, including dishonesty in assignments,

examinations, or other academic performances are prohibited. You are not allowed to make
copies of another person’s work and submit it as your own; that is plagiarism. All cases of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the University Management for appropriate sanctions in
accordance with the guidelines for handling students’ misconduct as spelt out in the Students’
Handbook.
Assignments and Group Work: Students are expected to submit assignments as scheduled.
Failure to submit an assignment as at when due will earn the student zero for that assignment.
Only under justifiable circumstances, for which a student has notified any of the instructors in
advance, will late submission of assignments be permitted. There should be individual report
from any group work.

Code of Conduct in Lecture Rooms and Laboratories: Students should turn off their cell phones
during lectures. Food and drinks are not permitted in the lecture rooms and laboratories.
