PREFACE
With the name Almighty Allah who made it possible for me to revise this manual. The
laboratory of every subject taught in the degree of Bachelors in Electrical Engineering is of
significance importance in every university. Fully equipped laboratories meeting the industrial
demands under the supervision of qualified, talented and practically motivated lab assistants
and lab engineers are also a basic criterion of the Pakistan Engineering Council for accrediting
an engineering program. Laboratory of network analysis course is very important as many
physical systems can be modeled in the form of electrical networks. Once model is correctly
designed, one can implement the physical system with actual components. The experiments
covered in this lab will help students in testing the actual response of network models. Some
computer aided techniques of network analysis are also covered in the manual.
The revision of lab manuals is a constant process as technologies keep on changing. All
suggestions and criticisms for the improvement of lab experiments and their conduction will
be warmly welcomed.

MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM
OBJECTIVE
To verify maximum power transfer theorem.
To observe effect of source and load resistance on efficiency.
THEORY
The maximum power transfer theorem states that, to obtain maximum external power from a
source with a finite internal resistance, the resistance of the load must be equal to the
resistance of the source as viewed from the output terminals. The maximum amount of power
will be dissipated in the load resistance if it is equal in value to the Thevenin or Norton source
resistance of the network supplying the power. The theorem results in maximum power
transfer, and not maximum efficiency. If the resistance of the load is made larger than the
resistance of the source, then efficiency is higher, since a higher percentage of the source
power is transferred to the load, but the magnitude of the load power is lower since the total
circuit resistance goes up. If the load resistance is smaller than the source resistance, then
most of the power ends up being dissipated in the source, and although the total power
dissipated is higher, due to a lower total resistance, it turns out that the amount dissipated in
the load is reduced.
The theorem states how to choose (so as to maximize power transfer) the load resistance, once
the source resistance is given, not the opposite. It does not say how to choose the source
resistance, once the load resistance is given. Given a certain load resistance, the source
resistance that maximizes power transfer is always zero, regardless of the value of the load
resistance. The theorem can be extended to AC circuits that include reactance, and states that
maximum power transfer occurs when the load impedance is equal to the complex conjugate
of the source impedance.
The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule) to imply that a system
consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient since,
when the impedances were matched, the power lost as heat in the battery would always be
equal to the power delivered to the motor. To achieve maximum efficiency, the resistance of
the source (whether a battery or a dynamo) could be made close to zero. Using this new
understanding, they obtained an efficiency of about 90%, and proved that the electric motor
was a practical alternative to the heat engine.

Figure 1: Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
Figure 2: Graph Illustrating Maximum Power Transfer Theorem
As in Figure 2, condition of maximum power transfer does not result in maximum efficiency.
If we define the efficiency as the ratio of power dissipated by the load to power developed
by the source, then it is straightforward to calculate from the above circuit diagram that
= Rload / (Rsource+ Rload) = 1 / {(Rsource/ Rload) + 1}
Consider three particular cases:
If Rload=Rsource , then =0.5

If Rload= or Rsource=0, then =1
If Rload=0, then =0
The efficiency is only 50% when maximum power transfer is achieved, but approaches 100%
as the load resistance approaches infinity, though the total power level tends towards zero.
Efficiency also approaches 100% if the source resistance can be made close to zero. When the
load resistance is zero, all the power is consumed inside the source (the power dissipated in a
short circuit is zero) so the efficiency is zero.

1ST ORDER RC DIFFERENTIATOR CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE
To analyze response of 1st order RC differentiator network for different inputs and
at different frequencies.
THEORY
The voltage (Vc) and current (Ic) relationship for capacitor is by
Ic(t)=C.dVC/dt
This relationship is helpful in implementing a passive differentiator circuit. For an RC series

network to work as an integrator R << XC i.e. voltage drop across resistor is very small and
VIN VC. The tentative output of RC network at << 1/RC is shown in Figure. Here is the
frequency of input waveform. The said condition on frequency assures that capacitor has time
to charge up until its voltage is almost equal to input voltage.
Figure 1: RC Diffrentiator
KVL equation for the network will be,
VIN=VR+ VC
VR = RI = RC . dVC/dt
Since VIN VC ,Therefore VR RC . dVIN/dt

DISCUSSION
1. If the following input is given to differentiator circuit, what will be the output waveform?
Draw the ideal and practical waveforms.
2. An electronics technician needs a simple circuit that outputs brief pulses of voltage every
time a switch is actuated, so that a computer receives a single pulse signal every time the
switch is actuated, rather than a continuous on signal for as long as the switch is
actuated. He tells you it is perfectly okay if the circuit generates negative voltage pulses
when the switch is de-actuated: all he cares about is a single positive voltage pulse to the
computer each time the switch actuates. Also, the pulse needs to be very short: no longer
than 2 milliseconds in duration. Given this information, draw a schematic diagram for a
practical passive differentiator circuit within the dotted lines, complete with component
values.
3. Plot the output waveform of a passive differentiator circuit, assuming the input is a
symmetrical square wave and the circuits RC time constant is about one-fifth of the
square waves pulse width.

4. Potentiometers are very useful devices in the field of robotics, because they allow us to
represent the position of a machine part in terms of a voltage. In this particular case, a
potentiometer mechanically linked to the joint of a robotic arm represents that arms
angular position by outputting a corresponding voltage signal.
As the robotic arm rotates up and down, the potentiometer wire moves along the resistive strip
inside, producing a voltage directly proportional to the arms position. A voltmeter connected
between the potentiometer wiper and ground will then indicate arm position. A computer with
an analog input port connected to the same points will be able to measure, record, and (if also
connected to the arms motor drive circuits) control the arms position.
If we connect the potentiometers output to a differentiator circuit, we will obtain another

signal representing something else about the robotic arms action. What physical variable
does the differentiator output signal represent?

5. Calculate the output voltage of this passive differentiator circuit 150 microseconds after
the rising edge of each clock pulse (where the square wave transitions from 0 volts to +5
volts).
6. An LR differentiator circuit is used to convert a triangle wave into a square wave. One day
after years of proper operation, the circuit fails. Instead of outputting a square wave, it
outputs a triangle wave, just the same as the waveform measured at the circuits input.
Determine what the most likely component failure is in the circuit.

1ST ORDER RC INTEGRATOR CIRCUIT

OBJECTIVE
To analyze response of 1st order RC integrator network for different inputs and at
different frequencies.
THEORY
The voltage (Vc) and current (Ic) relationship for capacitor is by
Vc(t)=1/C. Ic dt
This relationship is helpful in implementing a passive integrator circuit. For an RC series

network to work as an integrator R >> XC i.e. voltage drop across capacitor is very small and
VIN VR. The tentative output of RC network at >> 1/RC is shown in Figure. Here is the
frequency of input waveform. The said condition on the frequency of input waveform assures
that capacitor does not have sufficient time to charge up, therefore its voltage is very small
and resistor voltage is almost equal to input voltage.
Figure 1: RC Integrator
KVL equation for the network will be,

VIN=VR+ VC
Since VIN VR , therefore, I=VR/R = VIN/R
As Vc(t)=1/C. I dt , Vc(t)=1/RC. VIN dt
Thus the output voltage across capacitor is somehow integration of the input voltage.

DISCUSSION
1. Design a passive integrator circuit using a resistor and inductor rather than a resistor and
capacitor. In addition to completing the inductor circuit schematic, qualitatively state the
preferred values of L and R to achieve an output waveform most resembling a true
triangle wave. In other words, are we looking for a large or small inductor; a large or
small resistor?

LOW PASS FILTER
OBJECTIVE
To study the characteristics and frequency response of passive low pass filter.
THEORY
The impedance of an inductor is proportional to frequency and the impedance of a capacitor is

inversely proportional to frequency. These characteristics can be used to select or reject
certain frequencies of an input signal. This selection and rejection of frequencies is called
filtering, and a circuit which does this is called a filter. If a filter passes low frequencies and
rejects high ones, it is called a low-pass filter. An RC low pass filter is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Low Pass Filter
Filters, like most things, arent perfect. They dont absolutely pass some frequencies and
absolutely reject others. A frequency is considered passed if its magnitude (voltage amplitude)
is within 70% (or 1/2) of the maximum amplitude passed and rejected otherwise. The 70%
frequency is called corner frequency, roll-off frequency, break frequency, cutoff frequency or
half-power frequency. The corner frequency for the RC filter is given as:
fC = 1 / 2RC
At cut off frequency, R=XC i.e. voltage VR=VC and phase angle between input and output
voltage will be 450.

HIGH PASS FILTER
OBJECTIVE
To study the characteristics and frequency response of passive high pass filter.
THEORY
If a filter allows signals of higher frequencies to pass from input to the output while blocking
the lower frequencies, this filter is called a high pass filter. The minimum frequency it allows
to pass is called cutoff frequency fC. A high pass filter may be RL or RC as shown in Figures
below.
The cutoff frequency for the RC filter is given as:

V0=Vi[R/(R-jXc)]
fc = 1 / 2RC
At fc, R=Xc and the phase angle between Vo and Vi is +45 as shown in Figure 1(c).It can be
seen that high pass filter can be obtained merely by interchanging the positions of R and C in
low pass RC filter. In high pass filter, all the frequencies above fc are passed and below are
attenuated.

The cutoff frequency for the RL filter is given as:

RESONANCE PHENOMENON IN ELECTRICAL NETWORKS
OBJECTIVE
To observe resonance phenomenon in electrical networks and study its effects.
To determine the resonant frequency and bandwidth of the given network using a
sinusoidal input.
THEORY
A resonant circuit, also called a tuned circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor together
with a voltage or current source. It is one of the most important circuits used in electronics.
For example, a resonant circuit, in one of its many forms, allows us to select a desired radio or
television signal from the vast number of signals that are around us at any time.
A network is in resonance when the voltage and current at the network input terminals are in
phase and the input impedance of the network is purely resistive.
Figure 1: Parallel Resonance Circuit
Consider the Parallel RLC circuit of Figure 1. The steady-state admittance offered by
the circuit is:
Y = 1/R + j( C 1/L)
Resonance occurs when the voltage and current at the input terminals are in phase. This
corresponds to a purely real admittance, so that the necessary condition is given by
C 1/L = 0
The resonant condition may be achieved by adjusting L, C, or . Keeping L and C constant,

the resonant frequency o is given by:

Or
Frequency response is a plot of the magnitude of output Voltage of a resonance circuit as

function of frequency. The response of course starts at zero, reaches a maximum value in the
vicinity of the natural resonant frequency, and then drops again to zero as becomes infinite.
The frequency response is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Frequency Response of Parallel Resonant Circuit
The two additional frequencies 1 and 2 are also indicated which are called half-power
frequencies. These frequencies locate those points on the curve at which the voltage response
is 1/2 or 0.707 times the maximum value. They are used to measure the band-width of the
response curve. This is called the half-power bandwidth of the resonant circuit and is defined
as:
= 2 - 1
Figure 3: Series Resonance Circuit
When network of Figure 3 is in tuned condition, inductive reactance will be cancelled by

capacitive reactance, therefore, impedance of the circuit will be minimum, current will be
maximum and this current will be in phase with voltage i.e. power factor will be unity as
shown in Figure 4.

BAND PASS FILTER
OBJECTIVE
To design a band pass filter with pass band (130 Hz -2 kHz) and observe
its amplitude response.
THEORY
It is a filter that allows a certain band of frequencies to pass through and attenuates all other
frequencies below and above the band. This pass band is known as the bandwidth of the filter.
A passive band pass filter can be obtained by cascading a high pass RC filter to a low pass RC
filter as shown in Figure 1.

SINUSOIDAL STEADY STATE RESPONSE
OBJECTIVE
To observe sinusoidal steady state response of an electrical network.
To determine complex impedance, and power factor of a network.
To grasp the concept of active, reactive and apparent power.
THEORY
If a sinusoidal source is connected to a network of linear passive elements, then every voltage
and current in that network will be sinusoidal in the steady state, differing from the source
waveform in amplitude and phase angle. The input and steady state output of a physical
circuit is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Sinusoidal Steady State Response

Impedance and admittance values of common circuit elements are shown in the following
Table 1.
Table 1: Parameters for Network Elements

A passive RC network is shown in Figure 2. The input impedance of a circuit is defined as the
ratio of input voltage to input current. Mathematically,

If is the phase difference between VIN and IIN then is called the power factor and different
powers consumed in the network are defined as,
Active Power: P = VIN (rms)IIN(rms) Cos (Watts)
Reactive Power: Q = VIN(rms)IIN(rms) Sin (Vars)
2 2
Apparent Power: S = VIN(rms)IIN(rms)=(P +Q ) (VA)
In complex form, S = P+jQ= (1/2)(V)(I*) = VrmsI*rms = I2rms Z = V2rms/Z
Figure 2: RC Network
If waveforms of the VIN and IIN are simultaneously observed on the oscilloscope as shown in
Figure 3, then phase difference between VIN and IIN can be found as

RECIPROCITY THEOREM
OBJECTIVE
To differentiate between reciprocal and non-reciprocal networks.
To verify reciprocity theorem.
THEORY
Any network composed of linear, bilateral elements (such as R, L and C) is reciprocal. The
reciprocity theorem states that if an emf E in one branch of a reciprocal network produces a
current I in another, then if the emf E is moved from the first to the second branch, it will
cause the same current in the first branch, where the emf has been replaced by a short circuit.
The ratio E/I is known as transfer resistance or impedance (Z) in AC networks. The
reciprocity theorem is applicable only to single-source networks containing no time varying
elements.
When applying reciprocity theorem for a voltage source, following steps must be taken:-

Voltage source is replaced by a short circuit in original location.
Polarity of
source in new location is such that the current direction in that branch remains
unchanged.

NETWORK ANALYSIS USING PSPICE
OBJECTIVE
To learn DC analysis, AC analysis and transient analysis of electrical networks using

PSpice.
BACKGROUND
1. SPICE stands for Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis
2. SPICE was originally developed at the Electronics Research Laboratory of the
University of California, Berkeley (1975). As the name implies, SPICE was originally
developed for designing integrated circuits. However, it can be used to analyze
discrete circuits as well.
3. PSpice is a PC version of SPICE (Cadence) and HSpice is a version that runs on
workstations and larger computers.
4. PSpice is case insensitive i.e. typing r or R will not be any different in PSpice.
5. All analysis can be done at different temperatures. The default temperature is 27c.
6. PSpice can do several types of circuit analysis. Here are a few:

DC analysis: Calculates the DC transfer curve.

AC analysis:
Calculates the output as a function of frequency. A bode plot is
generated.

Transient analysis: Calculates
the voltage and current as a function of time when a
large signal is applied.

Noise analysis: Analyzes noise at the input or output of the circuit.

Fourier analysis: Calculates and plots the frequency spectrum.
7. A PSpice circuit can contain components like:

AC & DC voltage and current sources

Resistors and Variable Resistors

Capacitors and Variable Capacitors

Inductors and Variable Inductors

Operational amplifiers

Switches

Diodes

Bipolar transistors

Transformers etc
Getting started with PSpice
Go to Start Menu, then Programs, then PSpice Student and then Schematics
The following schematic editor window will appear:

Drawing the Circuit
Following is the circuit we will use to begin our understanding about how PSpice works:
A. Getting the Parts

The first thing is to get some or all of the parts you need and place them on your

Schematics Workspace.

This can be done by
o Going to "Draw" and selecting "Get New Part...", or
o Clicking on the 'get new parts' button , or
o Pressing "Control+G"

Once this box is open, select a part that you want in your circuit. This can be done by
typing in the Part Name
or the first alphabet of the part name, or scrolling down the
list until you find it.

Upon selecting your parts, click on the Place button. Then click where you want it to
be placed on the schematics workspace. Don't worry about putting it in exactly the
right place, it can always be moved later.

Once you have all the parts you think
you need, close that box. You can always open it
again later if you need more parts.
Get Recent Part Bin: PSpice keeps track of the most recent parts used and lists them in
the Get Recent Part bin. You can save time by selecting items from this bin. Simply double
click the item then place as described above.
B. Libraries in PSpice

including the concerned libraries before you actually select Parts because PSpice
The parts in PSpice are arranged in the form of libraries. You do not have to worry about
Schematics Version 9.1 automatically includes all the libraries, when the Get Part
button is pressed.

Few common libraries are:

analog.slb: Contains
resistors (R), capacitors (C), inductors (L), dependent sources (E, F,
G and H) etc.
source.slb: Contains various independent voltage and current sources.

port.slb: contains elements such as ground etc.
Hands on Exercise 1

Get all the parts you need to draw the circuit given, on your Schematics workspace?

Find out what specific libraries contain those parts?

C. Placing the Parts

have most of the parts available in your schematics workspace that you need at this
You should
point.

To put them in the places that make the most sense (usually a rectangle works well for simple
circuits), just select the part and drag it where you want it.

To rotate parts so that
they will fit in your circuit nicely, click on the part and click Edit "Rotate" or
simply click "Ctrl+R"
To flip them, click Edit "Flip" or "Ctrl+F".

If any parts are left over, just select them and press "Delete".
Hands on Exercise 2

that you have selected in Exercise 1 in a proper order on the Schematics
Place the parts
workspace?
D. Connecting the Circuit

Now that your parts are arranged well, you'll have to connect them with wires.

Go up to the tool bar and
o Go to "Draw" and select "Wire", or
o Select "Draw Wire" , or
o Click "Ctrl+W"

With the pencil looking pointer, left click on one end of a part. When you move your
mouse around, you should see dotted lines appear. Drag the mouse to the next part in
the circuit. This will attach the other end of the wire to the next part that you want to
connect and then left click again to release the wire

Repeat this until your circuit is completely wired.

If you want to make a node (to make a wire go more than one place), click somewhere
on the wire and then click to the part (or the other wire). Or you can go from the part
to the wire.

To get rid of the pencil, Right Click on the mouse.

If you end up with extra dots near your parts, you probably have an extra wire, select this
short wire (it will turn red), then press "Delete".

If the wire doesn't look the way you want, you can make extra bends in it by clicking in
different places on the way (each click will form a corner).
Hands on Exercise 3

Connect the parts using the wire that you have placed in Exercise 2.

E. Changing the Name of the Part

You probably don't want to keep the names R1, R2 etc., especially if you didn't put the
parts in the most logical order. To change the name, double click on the present name
(C1, or R1 or whatever your part is), then a box will pop up (Edit Reference

Designator). In the top window, you can type in the name for the selected part.

Please note that if you double click on the part or its value, a different box will appear.
Hands on Exercise 4

Change the names for the parts in your circuit to the names that were shown in the original
figure of the circuit given.
F. Changing the Value of the Part

To change the value of the part (e.g. by default the value of all the resistors is 1K
ohms), you can double click on the present value and a box called "Set Attribute
Value" will appear. Type in the new value and press OK.

If you double click on the part itself, you can select VALUE and change it in this box.

The list of units as PSpice accepts them is as follows:
F,f femto 10-15

P,p pico 10-12
N,n nano 10-9
U,u micro 10-6
M,m milli 10-3
K,k kilo 103
MEG,meg mega 106
G,g giga 109
T,t tera 1012

Hands on Exercise 5
Change the values for the parts in your circuit to the values that were shown in the
original circuit given.
G. Saving

If you have not done so, now is a good time to save your schematic. Choose a name
on the save
that will help you identify which problem this is. To save the circuit, click
button on the tool bar (or any other way you normally save files).
H. Electric Rule Check
Perform an electrical rules check to be sure your circuit schematic will simulate properly.
(Analysis menu, Electrical Rule Check). If all goes well, you will see a small window flash

on the screen and nothing else. If no errors are reported in your schematic, proceed to the
next step. If there are errors, fix them now.

Hands on Exercise 6

Do the Electrical Rule Check and Save the circuit that you have drawn?
I. Simulating the Circuit

Now you will simulate your circuit. Do this by going to the Analysis menu and
choosing Simulate or Press on the Toolbar.
When simulation is done, a new PSPICE window will appear.
Look at the Lower Left corner of the window for the results of simulation.

This is what you are going to see:
What does PSpice mean by Floating Nodes?

Why was the Simulation Aborted?
J. Making Sure You Have a GND

This is very important. You cannot do any simulation on the circuit if you don't have a
ground. If you aren't sure where to put it, place it near the negative side of your
voltage source.
K. Reading the Output

Select View in this window, and examine Output File. Scroll down towards
the bottom of
the file until you come to a series of headings that say Node Voltage.

The voltage at each circuit node should be reported. Identify
which node voltages are
associated with which circuit elements and note them down.

Scroll further down the output file. Note that the source current and total power
dissipation for the circuit is also reported.

The voltage source current is reported as -2.500E-04 A.

Hands on Exercise 7

methods you have
Find out the value of the current in the circuit manually by using the analytical
learned in the BEE class so far. Check if the answer agrees with PSpices?
L. Netlists

A netlist is the original way we interacted with SPICE.

with which they are connected.
The netlist contains description of the circuit that describes the parts of the circuit and the nodes

When PSpice creates a circuit description from your schematic, it numbers nodes, and for
each lists the nodes to which it is connected as well as the value of the
component,
component.

For example, Node 1 is designated $N001, node 2 as $N002, etc.

These designations do not appear on your schematic screen but instead they reside in a file as a
netlist.

To view the netlist, click Analysis, then Examine Netlist.

In the netlist, the 1 end of a component is connected to the first indicated node.
Hands on Exercise 8

Examine theNetlist for your circuit and compare these node numbers with the circuit you
have drawn.

N. Shortcut to find Bias Voltage and Current from the Toolbar
You can use the Enable Bias Voltage Display or Enable bias current display

buttons on the Schematics workspace toolbar to find out the Bias Voltage and

Currents directly instead of reading them down from the output file.
Hands on Exercise 9

Find out the bias voltages and currents for
the circuit you have drawn using the above said
buttons on the Schematic Window Toolbar.
O. Printing

To print your schematic circuit, you must first use your mouse to make a rectangle
around your circuit; this is the area of the page that will be printed. Then select print as

usual. (You can select ).
P. Meter Elements IPRINT, VPRINT1 and VPRINT2
These are general purpose metering components that you can use to measure voltage and
current. To determine their readings, you must examine the output file. (Click Analysis,
Examine Output, then scroll until you find them.) Note that IPRINT and VPRINT1 have a
terminal marked with a sign that corresponds to the COM terminal on a real physical
meter. You must wire them into your circuit as you would a real meter, taking into account
where you want the COM terminal. In addition, you must configure them for the type of
measurement (dc or ac) that you wish to make.

Hands on Exercise 10
Place the above mentioned metering elements in the circuit below and show the results.
Q. Dependent Sources
Voltage controlled voltage source Current-controlled current source
Voltage controlled current source

Current-controlled voltage source
A controlled voltage source is one whose output voltage is controlled by (depends on) the
value of a voltage or current elsewhere in the circuit. A current controlled voltage source
obeys the relation vo=ki, where i is the controlling current and k is a constant having the
units of resistance: k=vo/i volts per ampere, or ohms.
Similarly, a controlled current source produces a current whose value depends on a voltage or
a current elsewhere in the circuit. A voltage-controlled current source obeys the relation
io=kv, where v is the controlling voltage and k has the units of conductance: k=i o/v amperes
per volt, or siemens.
All four types of controlled sources, voltage-controlled voltage source, current-controlled
voltage sources, voltage-controlled current sources, and current-controlled current sources,
can be modeled in PSpice.

Hands on Exercise 11
The circuit shown in Figure below has a current controlled voltage source with the gain of 3.
This circuit can be constructed in PSpice using part H as shown in figure below:
Click the part and enter gain =3. Save and simulate it.
Learn to perform ac analysis and transient analysis using

PSpice Setting-up Analysis
You can select and specify a PSpice analysis.

To add up analysis, select set up to display analysis setup dialog box, or click the

button.
You can make your required selections from here.
When you are done, select the check boxes of the analysis you want to use.

Click the close button.

Bias Point Detail
Bias Point Detail writes the detailed bias information to the simulation output
file. The information reported to the output file includes:
(i) Node voltages
(ii) Current through Voltage sources
(iii) Total power
DC Sweep

The DC analysis causes a dc sweep to beperformed. The dc sweep analysis calculates the
circuits bias point over a range of values.

The DC sweep allows you to do various different sweeps of your circuit to see how it responds
to various conditions.

For all the possible sweeps,
o voltage,
o current,
o temperature, and
o model and global parameter

You need to specify a start value, an end value, and the number of points you wish to
calculate.

The main two
For example you can sweep your circuit over a voltage range from 0 to 12 volts.
sweeps that will be most important to us at this stage are the voltage sweep
and the current sweep. For these two, you need to indicate to PSpice the component

name you wish to sweep, for example V1 or V2.

Voltage and Current Markers

These are important
if you want to trace the voltage at a point or the current going through
that point.

To add voltage or current Marker, go to the top tool bar and select Voltage/Level
Marker or Current Marker or press Ctrl+M. Also you can go to

Markers on tool bar and select either Mark Voltage Level or Mark current into pin.

Probe
(a) Before you do the Probe
You have to have your circuit properly drawn and saved.
There must not be any floating parts on your workspace (i.e. unattached devices).

You should make sure that all parts have the values that you want.

There are no extra wires.

It is very important that you have a ground on your circuit.

Make sure that you have done the Analysis Setup and specify the values you want
enabled.
(b) To Start the Probe

Click on the Simulate button on the tool bar (or Analysis, Simulate, or F11).

It will check to make sure you don't have any errors. If you do have errors, correct them.
Then a new window will pop up. Here is where you can do your graphs.
(c) Adding/Deleting Traces

If youve placed the voltage/current level markers, PSpice will automatically put the
related traces in. You can change them or add to them.

Go to Trace, then Add Trace or click on the toolbar. Then select all the
traces you want. Do not forget to add a new Y-axis if the two plots have different y-

axis scaling.

To delete traces,
select them on the bottom of the graph and press Delete button from
keyboard.
(d) Doing Math

In Add Traces, there are various mathematical functions that can be performed. These will
add/subtract (or whatever you chose) the traces together.

Select the first output then click the function that you wish to perform.

There are many functions here that may or may not be useful. If you want to know how to
use them, you can use PSpice's Help Menu.
(e) Labeling
Click on Text Label on top tool bar.

Type in what you want to write.

Click OK

You can move this around on your graph by single clicking and dragging.

(f) Finding Points

There are Cursor buttons that allow you to find the maximum, minimum or just any point
on the line. These are located on the right side of the toolbar.

Select which curve you want to look at and then select Toggle Cursor .

(g) Saving

To save your probe you need to go into the tools menu and click Window. Now
click display control. This will open up a menu, which will allow you to name the
probe file
and choose where to save it. You can open previously saved plots from here
as well.
(h) Printing

Select Print in File menu or click on the toolbar.

Print as usual.
Another excellent feature of the DC sweep in PSpice is the ability to do a nested
sweep. A nested sweep allows you to run two simultaneous sweeps to see how
changes in two different DC sources will affect your circuit.
Example 1
For the following circuit we will dc sweep the voltage source from 0V to 10V and
observe the trace of VR1 and VR2.

Draw the circuit in your schematic workspace.

Label the nodes a and b as shown in the diagram above.

Go to Analysis, then setup and select DC Sweep from the dialog box.

Sweep var. Type is set to voltage source
by default. We are providing dc sweep to
voltage source so we will not change it.

Write the name of voltage source i.e. V1 in place of Name.

Enter start and end values i.e. 0 and 10 and give any convenient value of increment e.g. 1.

Leave the Sweep Type set to its default value i.e. linear.

Place a voltage level marker at node b.

Save and simulate your circuit.

A new probe window will open with the trace of voltage across R2.

To add the trace of voltage across R1, go to Trace menu and click Add Trace.

Enter trace expression V (a) - V (b) and enter.

You can observe that at each point sum of both voltages is equal to the value of V1.
Hence Kirchhoffs voltage law is proved.

Also add the trace of current through R1. If the current trace turns out to be zero, find
out the parameter that needs to be adjusted.
Example 2
Prove maximum power transfer theorem using global variable dc sweep
This circuit models a source (VS, RS) and a load RL. The problem is that the source is
given, and we want to determine the value of RL for which the power absorbed by the
load PL = (VL)2/RL is a maximum.
We will simulate and obtain a graph of PL versus RL, and determine the value of RL at
maximum value of PL

Draw the circuit on your schematics workspace.

From Get New Part place PARAM anywhere on your workspace.

Double click on the part PARAM after placing on the schematic workspace and set
NAME1 to RL_val and VALUE 1 to be equal to1.

Go to ANALYSIS and then SETUP and click on DC SWEEP.

In the SWEPT VARIABLE TYPE select GLOBAL PARAMETER.

Write the NAME as RL_val. This will be the swept variable.

Set the SWEEP TYPE to OCTAVE.

Set START VALUE to 10, END VALUE to 100k and INCREMENT to 10.

Save and simulate.

Do not forget to change the attribute value of RL to RL_val enclosed in curly brackets.

On the display window, go to TRACE and then ADD TRACE.

In the ADD TRACE window, enter the following expression (-VL x I(RL)).

power is maximum. Also find out the value of
Find out the value of RL for which the
the maximum PL that is transferred.

This must verify the maximum power transfer theorem,
which states that maximum power
is transferred from source to load when RL = RS
Exercise
For the given circuit trace the voltage across R2 by sweeping dc current source from 0
to 10 Amp. Also on the probe mark points at VR2 for I1=5 Amp.

Transient Analysis

In transient analysis, we determine voltages and currents as function of time. Typically
time dependence
is demonstrated by plotting the waveforms using time as independent
variable.

Two very important parameters in the transient analysis are:
o print step: It specifies time interval used for printing and plotting the results of
transient analysis. It refers only to results written to output file. It has no effect on

probe data file.

o final time: This specifies ending time for which the circuits behavior is
calculated.
Example
Draw the following circuit in PSpice

for the capacitor and set IC=0. Dont forget to save the attributes
Open the attribute window
after changing them.
Place a Voltage Marker at node vout to find out the voltage across it.
Run the probe.

Add the trace for Vout i.e. the voltage across the capacitor.

Above results can be achieved by using VPULSE in place of VDC as shown:
Exercise

Trace the current through the capacitor in the above circuit.

Observe the behavior of inductors for dc circuits by setting the IC for inductor equal to 0A.

D) AC Sweep

Ac steady state analysis is facilitated by the use of phasors. PSpice can perform ac
magnitude and phase data for any voltage or current
steady state simulation, outputting
of interest at any frequency.

Additionally PSpice can perform an ac sweep in which the frequency of sinusoidal
sources is varied over a user-defined range. In this case simulation results are the
magnitude
and phase of every node voltage and branch current as a function of
frequency.

In the AC sweep menu you have the choice of three AC sweep types:
o Linear
o Octave
o Decade.

These three choices describe the x-axis scaling of the trace. For example, if you
choose decade then the scale of x-axis will be logarithmic i.e. 10Hz, 1 kHz, 100 kHz,
10 MHz, etc. Decade
option is used to see the behavior of any circuit over large range
of frequencies.

You now have to specify at how many points you want PSpice to calculate results, and
what the start and endfrequency will be. That is, you choose range of frequencies to
simulate your circuit.

In the AC sweep you also have the option of Noise enable in which PSpice will
simulate noise for you either on the output or the input of the circuit. These noise
calculations are performed at each frequency step and can be plotted in probe.
Example

Simulate the given circuit at a frequency of 60 Hz.
Single Frequency AC Simulation

Draw the circuit in your schematics workspace. The AC source, VAC, is in the source library.

To set up the AC source for simulation, double click on the source symbol and open its

sweep.

Set all fields for 60-Hz simulation as shown in the figure below:

Since simulation is performed at only on frequency, 60 Hz, graphing the simulation
results is not a very attractive option. So to write the magnitude and phase of the

phasor Vout to output file, use VPRINT1 part from SPECIAL library as shown below:

After placing VPRINT1 part and set its attributes. The VPRINT1 part can be
configured to meter the node voltage in any kind of simulation: dc, ac, or transient.
Since an ac analysis is specified in the setup, the values of AC, MAG, and PHASE
attributes are set to Y, where Y stands for yes.

When an AC sweep is performed, PSpice, unless instructed otherwise will attempt to
feature, select Probe
plot the results using the probe plotting program. To turn off this
Setup in the Analysis menu and select Do Not Auto-Run Probe.

Simulate the circuit and select Examine Output from the Analysis menu to view the data. At
the bottom of the file we will find the desired results.
Exercise

Simulate the above circuit at a frequency of 50 Hz to find the current through the circuit using
IPRINT part and display the results in the output file.
Variable Frequency Ac Simulation

To sweep the frequency over a range, 1 Hz to 10 MHz, for example, return to AC
SWEEP AND NOISE ANALYSIS box. Change the fields to the desired values as
shown below:

Since the frequency range is so large, choose a log axis for frequency with 50 data points in
each decade

We can now plot the data using probe utility. This procedure requires
two steps. First, remove
VPRINT1 part. Second, return to PROBE SETUP window and select

Also plot the magnitude and phase of current
frequency range of 100 Hz to 600 kHz.
E) Parametric Sweep

One of the more useful aspects of SPICE is the ability to run a number of variations on a
basic circuit and compare the results by plotting them on the same graph.

For our example it might be interesting to see how changing the resistor
value affects the
frequency response and make comparison with the first simulation.

A hard-nosed way of doing that might be to select the circuit, make a copy, start a new
project with all of the same settings, paste the circuit into the new project, make the
desiredparameter changes, run the simulation, and then add the new trace to the old
graph.

This might seem like a lot of goofing around, but indeed there is a simpler approach.

Instead, you can use the parameter sweep feature of spice. A parameter sweep allows
you to specify a number of values for a particular parameter and then perform a
complete analysis for each value.
Example
Draw the following circuit:

Double-click on the resistor value and change its value from 10k to {RA}. (Makesure that
you are changing the value and not the name.) The curly brackets are important.

Go to the ANALYSIS menu and choose SETUP.

Now choose PARAMETRIC.

In the new window, under the SWEPT Var. TYPE, select GLOBAL PARAMETER and in
the "Parameter name" entry box type in RA

In the "Sweep Type" section, you could enter start, stop, and increment values for R1.

Since we want only a few values, we will use a VALUE LIST option on the LHS menu.

Click thebutton next to "Value List" and enter 1k 10k 100k (no commas separating the
values).
Thus, we are planning to run the simulation 3 times with those three values for R1.

Click OK.

We need to add one more part to the schematic so that PSPICE can handle the parameter
sweep properly.

Go to GET PART
and select the part named PARAM. Place it any where on the schematic
workspace.

Double-click on the "Parameters:" part to bring up the "Property Editor" window.

Type RA for NAME 1 and 1k for VALUE 1.This shows that 1k will be the first value
used in the parameter sweep.

Finally, click on CHANGE DISPLAY and select BOTH NAME and VALUE. You should
see the schematic workspace that is something like the one below:

Set the AC sweep settings over a range of frequencies 10 Hz to 100 kHz and
10pts/decade
(Dont forget to select decade in the ac sweep type). Now Simulate your
circuit.

Assuming there are no errors, when the simulation is finished, you should see a
message saying that three separate files are available. You can choose any or all of
them for plotting. In this case choose "All" and click OK.

From the TRACE menu choose ADD TRACE in the dialog, choose "DB( )" from the
math function list and then choose V(Vout) from the circuit variables list.

Click OK and a graph will appear, showing three different frequency responses for the
three different values of resistor.

F) Sensitivity

Sensitivity causes a DC sensitivity
variables may be specified.
analysis to be performed in which one or more output

Device sensitivities are provided for the following device types only:
o resistors,
o independent voltage and current sources,
o voltage and current-controlled switches,
o diodes, and
o bipolar transistors.

You would use the sensitivity settings for discovering the maximum range of circuit
performance and the causes of extreme operation. These techniques are used to
identify effective changes to improve the quality of circuit operation.

This isn't as important for us in the lab, but some day when you are constructing real
circuits that need to function under various conditions this will be useful.
G) Temperature

The temperature option allows you to specify a temperature, or a list of temperatures
(do not include commas between temperature values) for which PSpice will simulate
your circuit.

For a list of temperatures that simulation is done for each specified temperature.
H) Digital Setup

In addition to letting you simulate analog circuits, PSpice provides a number of digital
parts that can be used ina homogeneous digital circuit, or a heterogeneous
analog/digital combination.

The digital analysis option allows you to specify the
timing of your circuit, by running the
gates at their minimum, maximum and typical values.

A superb feature allows you to test theworst-case timing of your circuit to see how it will
operate under these extreme conditions.

You also have the option of setting the value of any flip flops you have in your circuit
to predefined states which is goodto simulate any startup conditions for finite state
machines that you are simulating.

ELECTRICAL NETWORK MODELING IN MATLAB SYMBOLIC
TOOLBOX
OBJECTIVE
To learn modeling of electrical networks in frequency domain using Matlab symbolic
toolbox.
THEORY
Consult MATLAB documentation to get help for each of the following command(s) if you
dont understand.
EQUIPMENT
Computer with Matlab & Simulink installation
PRACTICE
The following example illustrates the difference the between a standard MATLAB data type,
such as, double and the corresponding symbolic object.
Example 1:- Enter the following commands and observe the difference.
>> clear
>> sqrt(7)
>> a = sqrt ( sym(7))
>> 3/8
>> sym (3)/sym (8)
>> 1/5+2/3
>> sym (1)/sym (5) +sym (2)/sym (3)
Example 2:- sym command lets us construct the symbolic variables and expressions as
below; >>clear
>> x = sym('x')
>> a = sym('a')
>> x = sym( '(1+sqrt(5))/2')
>> f = x^2 x -1

f =(1/2+1/2*5^(1/2))^2-3/2-1/2*5^(1/2)
The expression returned by f is complex to read. Enter the following command.
>> simplify(f)
Example 3:- This example describes another way to declare the symbolic objects.
>> clear
>> syms a b c x
We may construct quadratic equation using above variables.
>> f = sym ('a*x^2 + b*x + c')

Note: - To create a symbolic expression that is a constant, you must use the sym command.
For example, to create the expression whose value is 5, enter f = sym ('5'). Note that the
command f =5 does not define f as a symbolic expression.
findsym informs about symbolic variable of an expression.
>> findsym (f)
Observe the difference between the following commands.
>> subs ( f, 2)
>>subs(f, a, 2)
Example 4:- Example illustrates creation of real and complex

variables. >> clear
>>x = sym('x', 'real');
>>y = sym('y', 'real');
or more efficiently
>>syms x y real
>>z = x + i*y
>> z*conj (z)
>> simplify (z*conj (z))
Example 5: - Symbolic toolbox has the power to solve derivatives.

>> clear
>> syms x
>> h =sin(2*x)
>> diff(h)
To take second derivative we use
>> diff(h,2)
or
>> diff (diff (h))
Example 6: - Let us find derivative of functions having more than one variable.
>>clear
>>syms x y
>> f = exp(x*y)
Observe the output of each of the following commands.
>> diff (f)

>> diff (f,x)
>> diff (f,y)
>>diff ( f,y,2)
>> diff(f,2)
Your Task ???
You have studied command for differentiation. Is there any command for integration? If
yes, find the following and write those commands beside.

Example 7:- Following example shows power of symbolic toolbox to calculate Laplace
transform. (Make an M-file and having finished delete it).
>> clear
>> f =2*exp(-t) 2*exp(-2*t)
>> pretty(f)
>> F = laplace(f)
>> pretty(F)

>>simplify(F)
>>pretty(F)
Example 8: - The inverse Laplace transform is also possible to calculate.
>> clear
>> syms s
>> F = 2 / [(s+1)*(s+2)];
>>pretty(F)
>> f = ilaplace (F)
>> pretty (f)
