In this section, we’ll introduce AC Analysis in Multisim.

This is perhaps one of the most useful Analyses

that Multisim offers, and we’ll use it in many of the problems encountered later. AC Analysis is simply
the sweeping of the frequency of the circuit and plotting the values, be they voltages, currents, etc… at
each frequency

Dependent sources are one of the critical components in creating models of electrical systems,
especially devices like transistors. Multisim allows users to implement dependent sources in several
different ways.

There are four general categories of dependent sources:

Current-Controlled-Current Source

Voltage-Controlled-Current Source

Current-Controlled-Voltage Source

Voltage-Controlled-Voltage Source

To access the dependent voltage sources,

1. Open the Select a Component window.

2. Under Group, select: Sources

3. Under Family, select: CONTROLLED_VOLTAGE_SOURCES

4. Under Component, select either:

a. CURRENT_CONTROLLED_VOLTAGE_SOURCE

b. VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_VOLTAGE_SOURCE

To get to the dependent current sources,

1. Open the Select a Component window.

2. Under Group, select: Sources

3. Under Family, select: CONTROLLED_CURRENT_SOURCES

4. Under Component, select either:

a. CURRENT_CONTROLLED_CURRENT_SOURCE

b. VOLTAGE_CONTROLLED_CURRENT_SOURCE
