Introduction
• This lab focuses on the Thévenin equivalent and maximum
power transfer theorems.
• Complex circuits are often replaced with their Thévenin
equivalent to simplify analysis.
• Maximum power transfer is also an important concept which
allows the designer to determine an optimal design when
power is a constraint.

Clemson ECE Laboratories
Thévenin Equivalent Circuit
• Thevenin equivalent circuit is an independent voltage source
VTh in series with a resistor RTh, which replaces an
interconnection of sources and resistors.
• This series combination of VTh and RTh is equivalent to the
original circuit in the sense that, if we connect the same load
across the terminals a, b of each circuit, we get the same voltage and current at the terminals of the load.
• This equivalence holds for all possible values of load
resistance.

Clemson ECE Laboratories
Thévenin Equivalent Circuit contd…
• To calculate the Thevenin voltage VTh, we simply calculate the opencircuit voltage in the original circuit.
• If we place a short circuit across the terminals a, b of the Thevenin
equivalent circuit, the short-circuit current directed from a to b is
vTh
isc =
RTh
• This short-circuit current must be identical to the short-circuit current
that exists in a short circuit placed across the terminals a, b of the
original network.
• Thus the Thevenin resistance is the ratio of the open-circuit voltage
to the short-circuit current.

RTh =
isc

equals the Thevenin resistance i.e. RL=RTh
• The maximum power delivered to RL is

Introduction
• Oscilloscopes are indispensable tools for anyone designing,
manufacturing or repairing electronic equipment.
• The digital oscilloscope allows the engineer to examine time
varying waveforms to determine the magnitude, frequency,
phase angle, and other waveform characteristics which depend
upon the interaction of circuit elements with the sources
driving them.
• The usefulness of an oscilloscope is not limited to the world of
electronics. With the proper sensor, an oscilloscope can
measure all kinds of phenomena.
17
Clemson ECE Laboratories
The Oscilloscope
• The oscilloscope is basically a
graph-displaying device.
• The graph shows how signals
change over time.
• The vertical (Y) axis represents
voltage and the horizontal (X)
axis represents time. The
intensity or brightness of the
display is sometimes called the Z
axis, as shown in figure.
18
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Waveforms
• A waveform is a graphic representation of a wave.
• Waveform shapes reveal a great deal about a signal.
• Any time you see a change in the height of the waveform, you
know the voltage has changed.
• Any time there is a flat horizontal line, you know that there is
no change for that length of time.
• Straight, diagonal lines mean a linear change – rise or fall of
voltage at a steady rate.
• Sharp angles on a waveform indicate sudden change.
19
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Waveform Measurements-Frequency &
Period
• If a signal repeats, it has a
frequency.
• The frequency is measured in Hertz
(Hz) and equals the number of times
the signal repeats itself in one
second, referred to as cycles per
second.
• A repetitive signal also has a period,
which is the amount of time it takes
the signal to complete one cycle.
• Period and frequency are reciprocals
of each other,
20
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Waveform Measurements-Voltage
• Voltage is the amount of electric
potential, or signal strength, between
two points in a circuit.
• Usually, one of these points is
ground, or zero volts, but not
always.
• One may measure the voltage from
the maximum peak to the minimum
peak of a waveform, referred to as
the peak-to-peak voltage.
21
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Waveform Measurements-Amplitude
• Amplitude refers to the amount of
voltage between two points in a
circuit.
• Amplitude commonly refers to the
maximum voltage of a signal
measured from ground, or zero
volts.
• The waveform shown in figure has
an amplitude of 1 V.
22
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Waveform Measurements-Phase
• The voltage level of sine wave is based
on circular motion.
• Given that a circle has 360°, one cycle
of a sine wave has 360°.
• Phase shift describes the difference in
timing between two otherwise similar
signals.
• The waveform in figure labeled
“current” is said to be 90° out of phase
with the waveform labeled “voltage,”
since the waves reach similar points in
their cycles exactly 1/4 of a cycle apart
(360°/4 = 90°).
23
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Controls of an Oscilloscope
• The front panel of an oscilloscope is
divided into three main sections:
o Vertical:
The
attenuation
or
amplification of the signal. Use the
volts/div control to adjust the
amplitude of the signal to the desired
measurement range.
o Horizontal: The time base. Use the
sec/div control to set the amount of
time per division represented
horizontally across the screen.
o Trigger: The triggering of the
oscilloscope. Use the trigger level to
stabilize a repeating signal.
24
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Probes
• Even the most advanced instrument can only be as precise as the
data that goes into it.
• A probe functions in conjunction with an oscilloscope as part of
the measurement system.
• Precision measurements start at the probe tip.
• The right probes matched to the oscilloscope and the device-under
test (DUT) not only allow the signal to be brought to the
oscilloscope cleanly, they also amplify and preserve the signal for
the greatest signal integrity and measurement accuracy.

Introduction
• A series RLC circuit (or LCR circuit) is an electrical circuit
consisting of a resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor, connected
in series with the voltage source.
• The RLC part of the name is due to those letters being the usual
electrical symbols for resistance, inductance and capacitance
respectively.

• The differential equation for the circuit has the following
characteristic equation
s 2 + 2a s + w 20 = 0

• If α is large compared with the resonant frequency ωo, the
voltage or current approaches its final value without
oscillation, and the non-oscillatory response is called
overdamped.
• ζ>1
68
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Transient Response-Underdamped
Response
• If α is small compared to ωo, the response oscillates about its
final value, and this response is called underdamped.

Transient Response-Critically Damped
Response
• If the dissipative element is removed from the circuit, α=0 and
the voltage or current response becomes a sustained
oscillation.
• The critical value of α occurs when α = ωo; in this case, the
response is on the verge of oscillation and is called the
critically damped response.

Clemson ECE Laboratories
Procedure-Part 1 (Measurements across
L) Underdamped Response
77
• Connect CH 0 of the oscilloscope to display the voltage across the
inductor. To avoid a grounding error, the inductor must have one lead
connected to ground.
• To get a stable image of the circuit oscillations, connect a lead from the
FGEN output to CH1 of the oscilloscope. Then set the scope’s trigger to
EDGE, CH 1, rising slope.
• Adjust the period of the square wave, if necessary, so that the damped
sinusoidal waveform decreases to a negligible value (i.e., dampens out)
before the next square-wave pulse occurs. Something in the range of 10
Hz to 100 Hz probably will be adequate.
• Draw an accurate representation of the transient sinusoidal waveform
(the damped oscillations) in your laboratory notebook.
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Procedure-Part 1 (Measurements across
L) Measuring T
• Expand the time scale of the oscilloscope to show 3 to 6
peaks of the damped sinusoidal oscillation.

• Compare this value to T obtained in Part 0.
78
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Procedure-Part 1 (Measurements across

• Compare your measured α to the value you calculated

• Connect CH0 of the oscilloscope to measure the voltage across
the capacitor, being careful to avoid grounding errors.
• Continue to trigger the scope using the FGEN signal on CH1,
as before.
• In your laboratory notebook, sketch the waveform of the
voltage across the capacitor.
• If you were to perform the calculation for α using these data,
you would need to subtract from the peak heights the 1-volt
offset provided by the pulse from the function generator.
83
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Procedure-Part 2 (Measurements across
C) Critically Damped Response

the resulting waveform in your laboratory notebook.

Introduction
• Uncertainty or some error in measurement is introduced by
assuming ideal meters in the measurement process and by the
use of the circuit components themselves.
• While a component is designed to have a particular value (its
"nominal" value), which is marked on the outside covering
(the "case" or "encapsulation"), random fluctuations in
materials and production processes will result in some range of
values for the manufactured devices.
• Thus, components are usually specified by a nominal value
and a range, called the tolerance, in which the actual value is
expected to lie.

Fundamentals of Statistical AnalysisRandom Errors
• When the human errors and systematic errors associated with a
measurement procedure have been eliminated or brought under
control, there will still be some variability in the measurements
when they are repeated. These are called random errors.
• Random errors are characterized by irregularity, which may
appear to be a source of potential disagreement or confusion.
• The use of statistical analysis methods makes possible the
extraction of essential information.
• Two characteristics of the measurements are of special interest:
o The average/mean value of a series of measurements
o Measure of the degree of variability about the mean.

Fundamentals of Statistical AnalysisAverage or Arithmetic Mean
• Consider a series of measurements: x1, x2, x3,..., xn of some
quantity.
• For each sample of n measurements one can calculate an
average or arithmetic mean value from
n

• Variance is the mean-square deviation of each measurement from
the average value.
• Standard deviation, s is the square root of Variance.
• Standard Deviation is the root mean-square deviation of each
measurement from the average value.

Fundamentals of Statistical AnalysisExample
96
• Consider 6 measurements of a voltage source over a period of an
hour, repeated for 5 consecutive hours.
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Fundamentals of Statistical AnalysisExample (Observations)
• The most probable value that can be assigned to a measured
magnitude, on the basis of equally trustworthy direct
measurements, is the arithmetic mean.
• In any large number of measurements positive and negative
errors of the same magnitude are equally likely to occur.
• Small errors are much more likely to occur than large ones.
• All of the errors of measurement in a given series lie between
equal positive and negative limits.

Lab Objective
• By the end of this lab, the student should:
o Know how to identify the tolerance of the resistors used in a
particular circuit.
o Understand what the specified nominal value and tolerance for
a component means statistically.
o Know how to apply statistical methods to obtain the best
estimate of the true value of a circuit component.

Questions
• Why do the values of mean, variance and standard deviation
obtained by other teams differ from what you obtained?
• Using the information from the tables, what would be the best
estimate of the resistance of each group? Why?
• How does the mean value of resistance obtained by your lab
team, compare to the nominal value of resistance marked on
the resistor’s body?
• How does the standard deviation obtained by your team
compare to the tolerance marked on the resistor case?
106
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Preparations for Next Week
• Review the material in your circuits textbook on voltage
dividers.
• Read and implement the procedure of Lab 11 (Design Lab).
• Before you come to lab, you should have completed your
circuit design i.e. the design procedure and resulting circuit.
• This is NOT a team exercise. Each individual will be required
to have a design completed in the notebook prior to coming to
lab class.

Clemson ECE Laboratories
Introduction
• In this lab you will design and build a circuit to meet certain
criteria.
• In calling for a circuit design, two fundamental questions must
be answered:
o "What function is the circuit to perform?", and
o "How well is the circuit expected to perform this function?".
• The detailed answers to these questions are usually called the
functional requirement and the specifications, respectively.
112
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Lab Objective
• The objective of this laboratory exercise is to introduce you to
the nature of the engineering design process, i.e., the process
of selecting combinations of components to perform a given
function with a given degree of precision.
• You will be designing a Voltage Regulator to maintain a
voltage of 7V across the load resistance RL for 1000Ω ≤ RL ≤
1500Ω.
113
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Specifications
• Voltage across RL(load resistor), VL=7V
• 1000Ω ≤ RL ≤1500Ω
• Supply Voltage, VS=10V
114
Clemson ECE Laboratories
Functional Requirements
• Use two resistors R1 and R2 between VS and RL in a Voltage
divider network.
• Select R1 and R2 to obtain no more than +5% variation about
7V as RL ranges from 1000Ω to 1500Ω.
• How would your design vary if the required VL specification of
7V+5% was modified to 7V±5%?
