This comprehensive and well-organized text discusses the fundamentals of electronic communication, such as devices and analog and digital circuits, which are so essential for an understanding of digital electronics. Professor Santiram Kal, with his wealth of knowledge and his years of teaching experience, compresses, within the covers of a single volume, all the aspects of electronics - both analog and digital - encompassing devices such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, fibre optics, and photonics. In so doing, he has struck a fine balance between analog and digital electronics. A distinguishing feature of the book is that it gives case studies in modern applications of electronics, including information technology, that is, DBMS, multimedia, computer networks, Internet, and optical communication. Worked-out examples, interspersed throughout the text, and the large number of diagrams should enable the student to have a better grasp of the subject. Besides, exercises, given at the end of each chapter, will sharpen the student's mind in self-study. These student-friendly features are intended to enhance the value of the text and make it both useful and interesting.

Many Problems, Objective-Type And Review Questions Which Are Typically Set In Examinations, Are Included In The Book At The End Of Each Chapter.

Electronic devices and circuits are frequently present in everyday life, playing an essential role that cannot be overlooked. This book elucidates the intricacies of the field of electronics in a very simplified manner, using pedagogical elements to effectively demonstrate and exhibit the underlying principles comprehensively. The book offers a comprehensive examination of a wide range of power electronic devices and associated subjects, presented in a way that is accessible and suitable for students. The primary focus of the book is on the fundamental principles behind circuit design, as well as the detailed operations of various components inside a digital circuit. The text effectively introduces and elucidates the core principles, making it a very valuable resource for foundational digital electronics education. The presentation of theory in this context is characterized by its simplicity and effectiveness, which is further enhanced by a practical approach that specifically addresses the requirements of students specializing in computer science, communication and electronics engineering, and computer engineering.This textbook comprehensively addresses the many facets of semiconductor devices and circuits, with the primary objective of meeting the educational needs of students and instructors.

The second edition of this award-winning book continues the mission of its predecessor, to provide a comprehensive compendium of research in all aspects of distance education, arguably the most significant development in education over the past quarter century. While the book deals with education that uses technology, the focus is on teaching and learning and how its management can be facilitated through technology. This volume will be of interest to anyone engaged in distance education at either the K-12 or college level. It is also appropriate for corporate and government trainers and for administrators and policy makers in all these environments.

Basic Electronics is an elementary text designed for basic instruction in electricity and electronics. It gives emphasis on electronic emission and the vacuum tube and shows transistor circuits in parallel with electron tube circuits. This book also demonstrates how the transistor merely replaces the tube, with proper change of circuit constants as required. Many problems are presented at the end of each chapter. This book is comprised of 17 chapters and opens with an overview of electron theory, followed by a discussion on resistance, inductance, and capacitance, along with their effects on the currents flowing in circuits under constant applied voltages. Resistances, inductances, and capacitances in series and parallel are considered. The following chapters focus on impedance and factors affecting impedance; electronics and electron tubes; semiconductors and transistors; basic electronic circuits; and basic amplifier circuits. Tuned circuits, basic oscillator circuits, and electronic power supplies are also described, together with transducers, antennas, and modulators and demodulators. This monograph will serve as background training in theory for electronic technicians and as fundamental background for students who wish to go deeper into the more advanced aspects of electronics.

Ideal for a one-semester course, this concise textbook covers basic electronics for undergraduate students in science and engineering. Beginning with the basics of general circuit laws and resistor circuits to ease students into the subject, the textbook then covers a wide range of topics, from passive circuits through to semiconductor-based analog circuits and basic digital circuits. Using a balance of thorough analysis and insight, readers are shown how to work with electronic circuits and apply the techniques they have learnt. The textbook's structure makes it useful as a self-study introduction to the subject. All mathematics is kept to a suitable level, and there are several exercises throughout the book. Password-protected solutions for instructors, together with eight laboratory exercises that parallel the text, are available online at www.cambridge.org/Eggleston.

This book gives a concise presentation of the fundamentals of Electronics with applications mainly to Biosciences. It is thought that Mechanical Engineers, Computer Scientists, Physicists, Chemical Engineers and Bio-Scientists, students and graduates, will benefit from studying the book, as they will be helped to understand better the operation of the electronic equipment they use in their daily life at home and/or at work. It will also be useful to those who participate in multidisciplinary working teams, which require use of electronic equipment in their research and development projects. Additionally, it will be useful to teachers of electronics and corresponding students in Non-Electronic Engineering Departments at Technical Colleges and Universities. No previous knowledge of electronics is assumed and the reader will be helped to comprehend the material by following the numerical examples and solving the problems using MATLAB and Simulink programs.
