Enhanced learning of electrical systems using PSpice — a low cost solution
The article discusses applications of the evaluation version of PSpice in the simulation of control systems with delayed feedback, and communication systems such as PSK, QPSK and MSK. Using the freely available software, students can explore the behaviour of electrical systems in a laboratory-like environment on their personal computers.
