Alternating Current (AC) Fundamentals

Alternating Current (AC) is the electrical current whose value and direction vary cyclically in a circuit. This type of current is generated in power plants and is the one we find in household plug sockets. Most electrical and household appliances are powered by alternating current.

The figure below shows how the direction and value of domestic AC vary:

Key Electrical Variables

Current (I)

Current (I) is the variable that tells us how many electrons flow through

Image and Graphics Operations

1. Grayscale Image Processing

  • a) Fill a Grayscale Array (320w x 240h)

    Fill a grayscale array to represent an image of size 320w x 240h.

    myGreyArray = zeros(240, 320);

    Note: Image dimensions are typically height x width in MATLAB, so 240 rows (height) by 320 columns (width).

  • b) Display the Grayscale Image

    Display the image.

    figure;
image(myGreyArray);
colormap(gray); % Ensure grayscale colormap is used

  • c) Increase Array Values and Observe Image Change

    Increase the array values

Understanding Electrical Concepts

Intensity (I)

Intensity, or electric current, is defined as the amount of electrical charge (electrons) flowing through a conductor per unit of time. Its unit is the ampere (A), and the apparatus used to measure it is called an ammeter.

Voltage (V)

Voltage represents the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. It is measured in volts (V), and its measuring instrument is a voltmeter.

Resistance (R)

Electrical resistance is defined as the opposition

Understanding Communication System Fundamentals

Types of Communication

  • Simplex Communication: If the roles of transmitter and receiver are clearly defined, and data transmission is always carried out in one direction from sender to receiver. Example: TV broadcast.
  • Half-Duplex Communication: Communication may be bidirectional, but cannot be simultaneous. Example: Two-way radio (walkie-talkie).
  • Full-Duplex Communication: Two-way simultaneous communication. The emitter also acts as transmitter and receiver

Full-Wave Rectifier Operation and Waveforms

1. Circuit Diagram: Full-Wave Rectifier (Center-Tap Transformer Type)

  • AC Input, Center Tap (Ground)
  • D1 and D2: Diodes
  • RL: Load Resistor
  • Center-tap transformer gives two AC outputs 180° out of phase.

2. Waveforms

  1. Input AC Signal (from transformer)
  2. Output across Load RL (Full-Wave Rectified Output)

The output is unidirectional (only positive cycles), meaning both halves of the AC signal are used. Each diode conducts in alternate half-cycles, providing continuous
