Introductory Circuit Analysis

The mathematical foundation and the practical application of circuit theory in this highly readable book will prove invaluable to students enrolled in electronics engineeringtechnology curriculum and professionals alike. This one-of-a-kind text provides comprehensive coverage of circuit analysis topics, including fundamentals of DC and AC circuits, methods of analysis, capacitance, inductance, magnetism, simple transients, and computer methods. Hundreds of step by step examples lead the user through the critical thinking processes required to solve problems. Two popular computer simulation packages, OrCAD PSpice Version 9 and Electronics Workbench are integrated throughout the book to support "what-if" situations. With the Online Companion,...

The book is devoted to a detailed study of feedback theory as applied to linear electronic circuits. It has been written with two particular objectives in mind. The first is to develop a generalised feedback theory which does not rely on the separation of a feedback circuit into an amplifier and feedback network component, and yet it is capable of accounting for all the effects associated with feedback. The need for such a theory is more necessary than ever before owing to the more complex manner in which a transistor behaves compared with a thermionic valve. The second objective is to provide a broad view of the important problem of stability and its relation to the closed-loop transient response, open-loop frequency response and driving-point imped...
