Ohm’s Law – Linear relationship
between voltage and current in a
resistor
V = I R
V – Voltage, Volts [V]
I – Current, Amps [A]
R – Resistance, Ohms [Ω]

P = V I
P – Power, Watts [W]
Using the above polarities (which may ot be correct)
For P > 0, the component consumes power
For P < 0, the component produces power
Node – a connection between two or
more components
Loop – a closed path through which
current can flow

Thevenin voltage ( VTH ) – Open circuit the load, find the voltage across the load nodes
Norton current ( IN )– Short circuit the load, find the current through that short circuit
Thevenin resistance ( RTH ) – Turn off all independent sources, replace the load with a test voltage
(Vtest), find the current (Itest) through the test voltage, RTH = Vtest/Itest.
VTH = IN RTH (Ohm’s Law relationship)

power produced/stored for each impedance in the circuit

consumption/production appears to be

Bode Plots
Decade – a change in frequency by one order of magnitude, for example
100 rad/s → 1000 rad/s
10
4 Hz → 10
5 Hz
dB – decibel
dB = 20 log |F(jω)| Note the argument of the logarithm
is a magnitude expression
A change of 20dB corresponds to a of |F(jω)|
by one order of magnitude

Sketching Bode plot magnitudes (real poles and zeros)
Crossing an n-pole: Slope changes by -20*n dB/decade
Crossing an n-zero: Slope changes by +20*n dB/decade
‘n’ indicates the number of poles or zeros
‘Crossing’ rules apply when going from a lower
frequency to a higher frequency
Sketching Bode plot phases (real poles and zeros)

Crossing an n-zero: Phase changes by *

Phase changes are ‘spread out’ over two decades, one decade on either side of the pole or
zero
Corrections for Bode plot magnitudes (real poles and zeros)
At an n-pole: The ‘real’ dB valule is -3n dB ‘below’ the asymtote
At an n-zero: The ‘real’ dB valule is +3n dB ‘above’ the asymtote
The asymptote is the straight line approximation
of the Bode plots
‘Far away’ from poles and zeros, the
asymptotes are an accurate representation of the Bode plot
Second Order Circuits
Damping ratio,
o
, a metric of the damping
α is the attenuation constant
ωo is the resonant frequency
δ > 1, overdamped
δ = 1, critically damped
δ < 1, underdamped
Lowpass/Highpass filters
Overdamped and critically damped cases, the Bode plots follow the procedure on the previous page
Underdamped cases, use the critically damped approximation, add a ‘correction’ of
20 log
at the resonant
frequency, ωo
Bandpass filters
Overdamped, the Bode plots follow the procedure on the previous page
Critically damped and underdamped cases
At the resonant frequency, the magnitude Bode plot is 0dB
Note: The above discussion is for second order circuits only. If there is a gain stage, the Bode plot moves ‘up’ or
‘down’ and the dB value of the gain determines the reference for adding corrections/stopband vertices
Cascaded Filters – Magnitude Bode Plots
H(s) = H 1 (s)H 2 (s)H 3 (s) (three stages) → dB = 20log|H 1 (jω)H 2 ( jω)H 3 ( jω)| = 20log|H 1 (jω)| + 20log|H 2 (jω)| + 20log|H 3 (jω)|
