EE - 206: FUNDAMENTAL AND DIGITAL CIRCUIT LABORATORY EE - 206: LABORATORY EXPERIMENT #9C COMPLEX CIRCUIT NODAL ANALYSIS Objective: To analyze a multi-node circuit and predict the branch currents in selected elements, then to simulate the circuit and predict the same branch currents, followed by building the circuit and measuring the same branch currents. The results obtained from the three methods are then to be compared using percent error methods and the results analyzed for inconsistencies. Pre-Lab Preparation 1. Review the process of nodal analysis as indicated in Chapters 3.2 and 10.2 Fundamentals of Electric Circuits, Alexander and Sadiku, McGraw-Hill, Second-Edition, 2004. 2. Read the Handout: AC Sweep in PSpice. 3. Perform the nodal analysis on the circuit in Figure 1 and obtain the values for the nodal voltage V and the branch currents from I1, I2, and I3 indicated in the circuit, for the frequency specified. 4. Draw the circuit and the wiring diagram. Experiments: 1. Simulate the operation of the circuit for the frequency specified using AC Sweep. Obtain the amplitude and phase of the nodal voltage and the branch currents indicated in the circuit. Compare your simulation results with your manual calculations. 2. Construct the circuit specified and verify that the branch currents are as predicted. Follow Figure 2 to construct the secondary source V2. Set up the Link Instruments DSO to display the voltage and current equivalents in the specified branches. Obtain the printouts with measures of the voltage and current equivalents (both amplitude and phase). Compare your measurements with your manual calculations. 3. Make sure that you can complete all of the requirements in the post lab section. Post-lab analysis: 1. Generate a lab report following the sample report format. 2. Include your manual computations (both amplitude and phase), your PSPICE simulation results and your DSO-measurements in a TABLE format. 3. Include your PSPICE logic and wiring diagrams for the design and all printouts indicated above, each annotated clearly. 4. Compare your manual calculations with both the simulation results and the measured results and obtain a percent error for each. Comment on the results (include estimates of the magnitude of the possible error contributions and their effect on the results). 5. Comment on any problems encountered or unexpected results. 1
