Area:	Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Credits:	25.0
Contact Hours:	5.0
Lecture:	1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Tutorial:	1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Laboratory:	1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Prerequisite(s):	12706 (v.2) Electrical Circuits 104 or any previous version AND 305678 (v.1) Electrical Engineering 107 or any previous version
Syllabus:	Transmission line model and equations, solution of transmission line equations, transient waveforms on transmission lines, steady state sinusoidal analysis of transmission lines, Interfacing, Computer bus structures, timing and loading.
Unit Outcomes:	On successful completion of this unit students will understand issues related to transmission lines and appreciate the behaviour of signal transmission in wired and wireless environments. They will be able to demonstrate an understanding of steady-state and transient behaviour, of the issues surrounding the transmission and interface, the implications of the existence of self generated and externally imposed electric fields and magnetic fields in transmission lines, the hardware and software implications for analogue and digital transmission and interface design, and an understanding of bus structures, timing and loading.
