Description:

The book takes the reader from simple diode circuits through the analysis and design of various transistor and FET amplifi er confi gurations. The analysis and design of various feedback topologies and oscillators have also been covered. Intuitive and heuristic understanding of the concepts and physical meaning of mathematical results are emphasized throughout the book. Problem solving techniques are given throughout each chapter to assist the reader in analyzing the circuits. This book is enriched with nearly 270 worked examples which cover, design oriented as well as problems with varying degree of diffi culty. A considerable number of exercise problems are also included at the end of each chapter for a self test. With its simplified and systematic approach to diffi cult theoretical concepts, this book can serve as an excellent reference material for design engineers.
