METE 2020U – Circuit Design for Mechatronics

This course presents analysis of complex circuits and application of circuit principles to design circuits for mechatronics engineering systems. Topics include mechatronics design applications of circuit principles; AC steady-state analysis, AC power, transformer, three-phase circuits, DC/AC machines, two port networks, the Laplace transform, Fourier series and Fourier transform, frequency response analysis, passive and active filter design (low- and high-pass filters, bandpass and band-reject filters); design in the time and frequency domains, Interface circuits for mechanical systems, sensors, and instrumentation.
