Periodic Signal
• A function f(t) is is said to be periodic if and only if there is
any T such that
f(t+T) = f(t) , for all t
where T is period and f is frequency
T=
1
f
In other words, f(t) is repeatable with a period of T.
Properties of a Sinusoidal Wave
The general form of sinusoidal wave is
v(t) = Vm sin(ωt + θ )
where:
•
•
•
Vm is the amplitude (voltspeak );
ω€is the angular frequency (radian/sec), also 2πf;
θ is the phase shift (degrees or radians).

Sinusoidal Steady State (SSS) Analysis
• SSS is important for circuits containing capacitors and
inductors because these elements provide little value in
circuits with only DC sources.
• Sinusoidal means that source excitations have the form
VS cos(ωt + θ) or VS sin(ωt + θ).
• Since VS sin(ωt + θ) can be written as VS cos(ωt + θ - π /2),
we will use VS cos(ωt + θ) as the form of our general input
excitation.
• Steady state means that all transient behavior in the circuit
has died out, i.e. decayed to zero.
Sinusoidal Steady State Response
The SSS response of a circuit to a sinusoidal input is also a
sinusoidal signal with the same frequency but with possibly
different amplitude and phase shift.

Review of Complex Numbers
• Complex numbers can be viewed as vectors where the
X-axis represents the real part and the Y-axis represents
the imaginary part.
• There are two common ways to represent complex
numbers:
– Rectangular form
3 + j4
– Polar form
5 ∠ 53o

y = p – q = (a - c) + j(b - d)
• Example
p = 3 + j4
q = 1 - j2
x = p + q = (3 + 1) + j(4 - 2) = 4 + j2
y = p – q = (3 – 1) + j(4 – (-2)) = 2 + j6

Euler’s Identity
• Euler’s identity states that e jθ = cos(θ) + jsin(θ)
• A complex number can then be written as
r = a + jb = ρcos(θ) + jρsin(θ) = ρ[cos(θ) + jsin(θ)] = ρe jθ
• Using shorthand notation we write this as
ρe jθ ≡ ρ ∠ θ
More on Sinusoids
• Suppose you connect a function generator to any circuit
containing resistors, inductors, and capacitors. If the
function generator is set to produce a sinusoidal waveform,
then every voltage drop and every current in the circuit will
also be a sinusoid of the same frequency. Only the
amplitudes and phase angles will (may) change.
• The same thing is not necessarily true for waveforms of
other shapes like triangle or square waveforms.
• Fortunately, it turns out that sinusoids are not only the
easiest waveforms to work with, they're also the most
useful and occur quite frequently in real-world applications.
Engr228 - Chapter 9, Nilsson 10e
11
Phasors
• A phasor is a vector that represents an AC electrical quantity
such as a voltage waveform or a current waveform.
• The phasor's length represents the peak value of the voltage
or current.
• The phasor's angle represents the phase angle of the voltage
or current.
• Phasors are used to represent the relationship between two or
more waveforms with the same frequency.
Phasors
• The diagram at the right shows two
phasors labeled v1 and v2 .
• Phasor v1 is drawn at an angle of
0°and has a length of 10 units.
• Phasor v2 is drawn at an angle of
45°and is half as long as v1 .
• In terms of the equations for
sinusoidal waveforms, this diagram
is a pictorial representation of the
equations
v1 = 10 cos(ωt)
v2 = 5 cos(ωt + 45 °)
• The equations above and the
diagram convey the same
information.
Engr228 - Chapter 9, Nilsson 10e
12
More on Phasors
• Phasors are complex numbers used to represent sinusoids of
a fixed frequency.
• Their primary purpose is to simplify the analysis of circuits
involving sinusoidal excitation by providing an algebraic
alternative to differential equations.
• A typical phasor current is represented as I = IM ∠ φ
• For example, i(t) = 25cos(ωt + 45º) has the phasor
representation I = 25∠45º
• A phasor voltage is written as V = VM∠ φ
• For example, v(t) = -15sin(ωt + 30º) = 15cos(ωt + 120º)
has the phasor representation V = 15∠120º
Example Problem 10.31 Hayt 7E
Useful trigonometric relationships:
sin(wt) = cos(wt - 90º)
-sin(wt) = cos(wt + 90º)
cos(wt) = sin(wt + 90º)
-cos(wt) = sin(wt - 90º)
Express each of the following currents as a phasor:
1. 12sin(400t + 110º)A
2. (-7sin800t – 3cos800t)A
3. 4cos(200t – 30º) – 5cos(200t + 20º)A
1. 12sin(400t + 110º)A = 12cos(400t + 20º)A = 12∠20ºA
2. (-7sin800t – 3cos800t)A = 7∠90º - 3∠0º =
(0 +7j) + (-3 + 0j) = -3 + 7j = 7.616∠113.2ºA
3. 4cos(200t – 30º) – 5cos(200t + 20º) = 4∠-30º -5∠20º =
(3.464 -2j) – (4.70 + 1.71j) = -1.235 – 3.71j = 3.91 ∠-108ºA

Phasor Relationships for R, L, and C
• Now that we have defined phasor relationships for
sinusoidal forcing functions, we need to define phasor
relationships for the three basic circuit elements.
• The phasor relationship between voltage and current in a
circuit is still defined by Ohm’s law with resistance replaced
by impedance, a frequency dependent form of resistance
denoted as Z(jω).
• In terms of phasors, V = IZ(jω) where V is a phasor
voltage, I is a phasor current, and Z(jω) is the impedance of
the circuit element.
- Note that Z is a real number for resistance and a complex number
for capacitance and inductance.
• Since phasors are functions of frequency (ω), we often refer
to them as being in the frequency domain.
Phasors: The Resistor
In the frequency domain, Ohm’s Law takes the same form:

Phasors: The Inductor
By dividing the phasor voltage by the phasor current, we derive
an expression for the phasor impedance of an inductor shown in
the figure below.
Differentiation in time becomes multiplication in phasor form:
(calculus becomes algebra).
Engr228 - Chapter 9, Nilsson 10e
15
Phasor Relationship for Inductors
The relationship between voltage and current in the inductor
show that the current through an inductor lags the voltage
by 90º so it reaches its peak 1/4 cycle after the voltage
peaks.

Impedance
• We define impedance as Z = V/I or V = IZ
ZR=R
ZL=jωL
ZC=1/jωC
• Impedance is a complex number (with units of ohms)
– The real part of Z(jω) is called the resistance.
– The imaginary part of Z(jω) is called the reactance.
• Impedances in series or parallel can be combined using the
same “resistor rules” that you learned in Chapter 3.
Impedance Relationships
• Some circuit applications deal with the inverse of
impedance which is called admittance. The admittance is
denoted as Y = 1/Z
YR=1/R
YL=1/jωL
YC=jωC
• If Z = R+jX; R is the resistance, X is the reactance: (units
of ohms Ω).
• If Y = G+jB; G is the conductance, B is the susceptance:
(units of siemens S).
