Introduction
Define and differentiate Fourier series and Fourier transform, its properties and
its significance in describing the signal. What are its common applications?

Procedure
Enumerate all the procedures done during the experiment.

Discussion
1. Explain all the MATLAB commands, Simulink tools used in the activity
2. Write your manual solution in finding the unknowns using traditional method
of solving and COMPARE your answer to the one in MATLAB. What are your
observations?

Conclusion
Write your conclusion about the results of the laboratory activity.

Documentation
At least 6-8 photos with caption showing the conduct of the laboratory activity.

Laboratory Activity # 1
Power in Series and in Parallel Circuits

Objectives
1. Determine the Fourier series coefficients and plotting the synthesized signal using MATLAB.
2. Perform Fourier transform of signals using MATLAB.

Materials
Computer/Laptop, installed MATLAB software

Procedure
Note: You have to take photos while doing the experiment.

A. Creating new M-file

1. Make sure you already have installed MATLAB software in your computer. Click the software to open.
2. In the Menu bar, click File.
3. From the Dropdown box, click New then a sidebar will appear.
4. Choose simulink library or type simulink in the command window. A window called Simulink will
appear where you can perform all the coding, programming or selection of electrical devices.
5. Save your output by Clicking on the Editor Menu bar and Choosing Save As or alternately you can
press the keyboard shortcut key CTRL+S.
6. Save filename as “(your surname)_circuits1_lab_#1”.
NOTE: If you want to know the function of the commands used later in the activity just type
>>help (name of the command) in the Command Window then press Enter.

B. Solving circuit configurations in simulink

7. Given the circuit below,

R1

R2 R3

determine Voltage and Current accross R1, R2, R3 by simulating the circuit in Matlab

8. Press RUN. Write the resulting unknowns below with corresponding units

I1 =
