Why is Single-Frequency Excitation
Important?
• Some circuits are driven by a single-frequency
sinusoidal source.
• Some circuits are driven by sinusoidal sources
whose frequency changes slowly over time.
• You can express any periodic electrical signal as
a sum of single-frequency sinusoids – so you
can analyze the response of the (linear, timeinvariant) circuit to each individual frequency
component and then sum the responses to get
the total response.
• This is known as Fourier Transform and is
tremendously important to all kinds of engineering
disciplines!
