Clemson ECE Laboratories ECE 211 - Electrical Engineering Lab VI Pre-labs for ECE 211 Guneet Bedi Created: 10/09/2012 Updated: 10/09/2012 1 Clemson ECE Laboratories 2 Clemson ECE Laboratories 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. 3 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. 4 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. vTh RTh = isc 5 Clemson ECE Laboratories 6 Maximum Power Transfer • Maximum power transfer occurs when the load resistance equals the Thevenin resistance i.e. RL=RTh • The maximum power delivered to RL is pmax 2 vTh = 4RL Clemson ECE Laboratories Lab Objective • By the end of this lab, the student should be able to verify Thévenin's equivalence theorem and the concept of maximum power transfer. 7 Clemson ECE Laboratories Equipment Needed • NI-ELVIS workstation • Resistance substitution box • Individual resistors (220Ω, 330Ω, 680Ω, 1kΩ) 8 Clemson ECE Laboratories Procedure-Thévenin’s Theorem • • • • Set up the circuit as shown in figure. Adjust the output of the DC power supply to 10V. Measure the open circuit voltage between nodes A and B. Now connect the ammeter between nodes A and B and measure the short circuit current between nodes A and B. • Using these measurements, determine the Thévenin equivalent circuit. • Set up the newly determined Thévenin equivalent circuit and verify that this circuit has the same open circuit voltage and short circuit current as the previous circuit. 9 Clemson ECE Laboratories Procedure-Maximum Power Transfer Theorem 10 • Use the Thévenin equivalent circuit developed in Part 1. • For a resistance substitution box RL between nodes A and B, measure the current through and voltage across RL for RL=0Ω. • Repeat for RL=100Ω, 120Ω …… 500Ω (in 20Ω increments). • Determine the power dissipated by the resistor for each value of RL. • Plot Power vs. Resistance. • At which value is the power a maximum?

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. 25 Clemson ECE Laboratories Probe Types Passive Probes Active & Differential Probes Logic Probes Specialty Probes 26 Clemson ECE Laboratories NI-ELVIS Series II WorkstationAdditional Features User Configurable Input/Output Oscilloscope (Scope) Connectors (Input): o CH 0 BNC Connector: The input for channel 0 of the oscilloscope. o CH 1 BNC Connector: The input for channel 1 of the oscilloscope.

Rtot = RFGEN + RS where RFGEN is the internal resistance of the function generator, and RS is the resistance set on the resistance substitution box. 72 Clemson ECE Laboratories Lab Objective • By the end of this lab, the student should be able to relate the nature of the physical response of a series RLC circuit to the parameter values α and ωd determined by the component values. 73 Clemson ECE Laboratories Equipment Needed • • • • NI-ELVIS workstation Resistance substitution box Capacitance substitution box Inductance substitution box 74 Clemson ECE Laboratories 75 Procedure-Theoretical Calculations • Calculate the values of s1, s2, α, ωd, and T for the circuit shown in figure. Clemson ECE Laboratories Procedure-Part 1 (Measurements across L) Circuit Setup 76 • Set up the circuit as shown in figure. • Since the function generator has internal resistance RFGEN in the range of 50Ω to 150Ω, set the resistance substitution box to RS=100Ω. • Set the function generator to output a square wave with amplitude = 2VPP, DC offset = 0V, and frequency in the range of 10Hz to 100Hz. 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.

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. 93 Clemson ECE Laboratories 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 xav = åx j=1 n j 94 Clemson ECE Laboratories Fundamentals of Statistical AnalysisVariance & Standard Deviation 95 • Variance can be calculated from n s = 2 å( x j - xav j=1 ) 2 n -1 • 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. Clemson ECE Laboratories 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. 97 Clemson ECE Laboratories 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. 98 Clemson ECE Laboratories Equipment Needed • NI-ELVIS workstation • Resistors 99 Clemson ECE Laboratories Procedure • Groups of resistors labeled GROUP A, GROUP B, GROUP C, etc. will be passed in turn from lab team to lab team. • For each group of resistors, measure the resistance of each component using the NI-ELVIS digital multimeter. • Make a table for each group, recording the resistances. 100 Clemson ECE Laboratories Observation Table I-Individual Resistance Record Resistor # 1 2 3 4 5 Total Resistor Gp A (330Ω) Resistor Gp B (1.5KΩ) Resistor Gp C (3.9KΩ) Resistor Gp D (5.1KΩ) 101 Clemson ECE Laboratories Procedure contd… • For the resistors in each group, calculate the mean, the standard deviation, and the variance. • Make a table showing these values for each of the groups and the values determined by other lab teams. • Find the average of the mean, variance and standard deviation values obtained by all the lab teams. 102 Clemson ECE Laboratories Observation Table II-Mean Record Resistor Gp # Mean (Team 1) Mean (Team 2) Mean (Team 3) Mean (Team 4) Total Average A B C D (330Ω) (1.5KΩ) (3.9KΩ) (5.1KΩ) 103 Clemson ECE Laboratories 104 Observation Table III-Variance Record Resistor Gp # Variance (Team 1) Variance (Team 2) Variance (Team 3) Variance (Team 4) Total Average A (330Ω) B C (1.5KΩ) (3.9KΩ) D (5.1KΩ) Clemson ECE Laboratories 105 Observation Table IV-Standard Deviation Record Resistor Gp # Standard Deviation (Team 1) Standard Deviation (Team 2) Standard Deviation (Team 3) Standard Deviation (Team 4) Total Average A (330Ω) B (1.5KΩ) C (3.9KΩ) D (5.1KΩ) Clemson ECE Laboratories 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?
