Description
This introductory textbook on electronic circuits covers the early part of degree level courses taken by electrical and electronics engineers and the material on electronics which is usually contained in other first degree courses in engineering at universities, polytechnics and technical colleges. Some parts of the book will also be useful to practising engineers and scientists who need to use electronic circuits in the course of their work. A first chapter on the general principles of signal handling in electronic
circuits is followed by descriptions of amplifiers using field-effect and bipolar transistors and integrated circuits, written from the point of view of the engineering student building up a system. Subsequent chapters discuss the principles of applying negative and positive feedback in amplifiers and lead the reader on to more advanced circuits.
"This book is written for students but it is also an excellent handbook for the occasional electronics. The text is concise, illustrations are clear and the index is comprehensive."

"This book is well written and includes many clear and useful diagrams."
- American Journal of Physics -
'Recommended...for its insights, its brevity, and its remarkable freedom from error. Choice ...exceptionally easy to read...with an excellent chapter and subject arrangement. In only 259 pages the authors have covered a remarkably wide variety of linear active circuits."
