Nature is Analog
• A variation in a natural process is always
well defined and continuous in time.
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
3
Nature is Analog
• An electrical signal that is
analogous to variation in natural
phenomenon is ‘Analog Signal’
• The term "analog" describes the
proportional relationship between an
original natural variation and an
electrical that represents the
phenomenon.

Electronics
Electronics that reads Nature
 Primary information from natural phenomena comes in the
form of optical, acoustic, thermal or chemical signals.

These signals are converted into electrical signals.
The devices used for such conversions are called
transducers or sensors.
 Electronics involved in conversion and handling of these
signals is Analog Electronics
A Light Dependent Resistor

Electronics circuit design : An art
 Electronics circuit design is an art of handling information
carried in electrical signals.
 The electrical signals obtained from the
transducers could be very delicate
and weak in strength and prone to noise and interference.
 The obtained signals are than treated against the noise and
amplified to strengthen them.
 After this the electrical signals could be used to make certain
decisions or converted back into the physical signal or quantities
for display or actuation.

Typical block chain in an Electronic System
 Sensor/Transducer: converts the real-world signal
into an analog electrical signal.
 Filters: The analog signal is often weak and noisy,
so filters are required to remove noise.
 Amplifiers: are needed to strengthen the signal.
 A/D converters: if digital processing is required.
Muhammad Amir Yousaf

Typical block chain in an Electronic System
 An analog-to-digital converter transforms the analog signal into a
stream of 0‘s and 1's.
 The digital data is processed by a CPU, such as a DSP, a
microprocessor, or a microcontroller.
 Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) is necessary to convert the stream
of 0's and 1's back into analog form.

DC Circuit analysis
 Circuit analysis is the process of finding the voltages across, and the
currents through, every component in the circuit.
 For dc circuits the components are resistive only and analysis is
simpler.
 Ohm Law,
 Series, Parallel circuits,
 Kirchhoff’s voltage and current laws,
 Current, Voltage divider rules,
 Thevenin, Norton’s theorems.
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
DC and AC Circuit analysis
 For dc circuits the components are resistive as the capacitor and
inductor show their complete characteristics only with varying voltage
or current.
 One form of alternating waveform is sinusoidal waveform where the
amplitude alternates periodically between two peaks.
 Number of cycles per unit time is frequency.
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Sinusoidal Waveform
 Unit of measurement for horizontal axis can be time ,
degrees or radians.

Sinusoidal Waveform
 Unit of measurement for horizontal axis can be time ,
degrees or radians.
Vertical projection of radius
vector rotating in a uniform
circular motion about a fixed
point.
 Angular Velocity
 Time required to complete one
revolution is T
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Sinusoidal Waveform
 Mathematically it is represented as:
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Frequency of Sinusoidal
 Every signal can be described both in the time domain and the
frequency domain.
 Frequency representation of sinusoidal signal is:
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
A periodic signal in frequency domain
 Every signal can be described both in the time domain and the
frequency domain.
 A periodic signal is always a sine or cosine or the (weighted) sum
of sines and cosines.
 Frequency representation of periodic signal is:

A periodic signal in frequency domain
 A periodic signal (in the time domain) can in the frequency
domain be represented by:
 A peak at the fundamental frequency for the signal, fs=1/T
 And multiples of the fundamental f1,f2,f3,…=1xfs ,2xfs ,2xfs

Why Frequency Representation?
 All frequencies are not treated in same way by nature and
man-made systems.
 In a rainbow, different parts of light spectrum are bent differently
as they pass through a drop of water or a prism.
 An electronic component or system also gives frequency
dependent response.
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Phase Relation
 The maxima and the minima at pi/2,3pi/2 and 0,2pi
can be shifted to some other angle.
The expression in this case would be:

Response of R to Sinusoidal Voltage or
Current
 Resistor at a particular
frequency
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Response of L to Sinusoidal Voltage or
Current
 Inductor at a particular frequency
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Response of C to Sinusoidal Voltage or
Current
 Capacitor at a particular frequency
Muhammad Amir Yousaf
Frequency Response of R,L,C
 How varying frequency affects the opposition offered
by R,L and C
