36、，電氣工程師已經(jīng)在推動系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展進步和改變人們的生活工作方式上扮演了重要而又突出的角色。衛(wèi)星通信系統(tǒng)、電話、數(shù)字計算機、電視、醫(yī)學診斷設備和外科外科醫(yī)學設備、流水線的機器人以及電力電子工具已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)代技術社會具有代表性的組成部分。作為一名電氣工程師，你可以通過升級或精煉目前存在的系統(tǒng)，也可以通過研究和開發(fā)能夠適應不斷變化的社會需求的新系統(tǒng)，從而使自己也參與到這場正在火熱進行的技術革命中?，F(xiàn)在就讓我們先簡單了解一下電氣工程的內容，使大家對本文的題目“電路使我們的生活更加方便舒適”，有一個更好的理解。最后我們介紹一下現(xiàn)代電路設計的方法。1. 電氣工程概述電氣工程是與生產(chǎn)、傳送、測量電信號的系統(tǒng)密切

37、相關的一門專業(yè)。電氣工程就是將物理學家的自然現(xiàn)象模型和數(shù)學家的數(shù)學工具結合在一起，從而創(chuàng)造一種新的模型，使這種模型能夠適應人們的實際需求。電氣系統(tǒng)在我們的生活中隨處可見，在家庭、學校、車間中以及汽車中都可以看到它們的身影。電氣系統(tǒng)主要有五個分支： 通信系統(tǒng) 計算機系統(tǒng) 控制系統(tǒng) 電力系統(tǒng) 信號處理系統(tǒng)下面我們就從這五個方面中各舉一個例子，從而說明電氣工程師是如何分析和設計和這些系統(tǒng)，也讓讀者對電氣系統(tǒng)的廣泛應用有一個感性認識。通信系統(tǒng)是產(chǎn)生、發(fā)射和分配信息的電子系統(tǒng)。舉幾個眾所周知的例子：電視機、照相機、發(fā)射接收機和VCR、用來探測宇宙的射電望遠鏡、用來返回其它星球和我們地球圖片的衛(wèi)星通信系統(tǒng)

38、、用來確定飛機飛行坐標的雷達系統(tǒng)以及電話系統(tǒng)。圖1 電話系統(tǒng)圖1描述了現(xiàn)代電話系統(tǒng)的幾個重要組成部分。從圖片的開始向大家介紹這一系統(tǒng)，在一個電話系統(tǒng)里，話筒用來將聲波信號轉化為電信號。這些信號被傳送到信號交換中心，在這里它們將和來自其它成千上萬的電話電話信號組合在一起。組合的信號從交換中心發(fā)射出去；它們的信號形式由傳播的距離決定。在我們的例子中，這些信號將通過埋藏在底下的同軸電纜傳送到一個微波站。在這里，這些信號被轉換為微波頻率的信號，然后用發(fā)射天線發(fā)射到空間，再通過通信衛(wèi)星發(fā)送到接收天線。微波接收站將微波信號轉換成某種適于遠距離傳輸?shù)男盘枺热缯f轉化為光脈沖信號通過光纜傳輸出去。當?shù)竭_第二個

39、交換中心后，組合的信號被分離開來，并且每個信號都發(fā)送給相應的電話，在電話這邊此時的話筒當做揚聲器，將收到的電信號還原回聲波信號。在這個過程的每個階段，電路都對信號進行了處理，起了重要作用?？梢韵胂笠幌拢嬲奶魬?zhàn)在于設計、制造以及運行每個電路，每個電路都應該能夠同時響應成千上萬的電話呼叫并且還要保障高質量的連接。計算機系統(tǒng)是用電信號去處理信息，包括文字信息處理以及數(shù)學計算。計算機系統(tǒng)的大小不同，其功率強弱也不同。從袖珍計算器到個人電腦再到可以執(zhí)行復雜任務的超級計算機（用來處理天氣數(shù)據(jù)或建立復雜的有機分子化學反應模型）。計算機系統(tǒng)包括了微電路網(wǎng)絡或者說是集成電路郵票大小的集成電路包含了成千上萬的

40、電子器件，這些元件的運行速度和功率都接近于它們的物理極限，比如說光速和熱力學定律的極限值?？刂葡到y(tǒng)用電信號控制生產(chǎn)過程，比如煉油廠的說溫度控制、壓力控制和流速的控制；電子燃油噴射式汽車發(fā)動機里的燃油混合設備；電梯里面的機械裝置電動機以及門和燈光控制系統(tǒng)；巴拿馬運河的閘門控制裝置。還有可以幫助飛機自動導航以及自動著陸的控制器也是我們所熟悉的控制系統(tǒng)。電力系統(tǒng)是用來產(chǎn)生和分配電力資源的。作為現(xiàn)代工業(yè)社會基礎的電力資源，通常是有核電站、水電站及熱電站（用煤、油或者氣作燃料）。電能由橫跨全國的的電網(wǎng)分配。設計和運行一個這樣的系統(tǒng)最主要的挑戰(zhàn)在于，要給整個大系統(tǒng)提供足夠的冗余和控制，以確保整個系統(tǒng)中的任意一個小部分除問題都不會讓一個城市、或一個區(qū)域斷電。信號處理系統(tǒng)是用來處理代表信息的電信號。信號處理系統(tǒng)能夠使電信號里包含的信息以更適合分析的形式存在。有許多種不同的信號處理方法。例如，圖像處理系統(tǒng)收集到大量來自軌道氣象衛(wèi)星的數(shù)據(jù)，將這些數(shù)據(jù)壓縮到可以接受到數(shù)量并且將其處理成適于晚間新聞的視頻圖像。計算機處理的X射線斷層掃描（CT）又是另外
