Introduction To Linear Circuit Analysis And Modelling

Luis Moura and Izzat Darwazeh introduce linear circuit modelling and analysis applied to both electrical and electronic circuits, starting with DC and progressing up to RF, considering noise analysis along the way. Avoiding the tendency of current textbooks to focus either on the basic electrical circuit analysis theory (DC and low frequency AC frequency range), on RF circuit analysis theory, or on noise analysis, the authors combine these subjects into the one volume to provide a comprehensive set of the main techniques for the analysis of electric circuits in these areas. Taking the subject from a modelling angle, this text brings together the most common and traditional circuit analysis techniques (e.g. phasor analysis) with system and signal theory (e.g. the concept of system and transfer function), so students can apply the theory for analysis, as well as modelling of noise, in a broad range of electronic circuits. A highly student-focused text, each chapter contains exercises, worked examples and end of chapter problems, with an additional glossary and bibliography for reference. A balance between concepts and applications is maintained throughout. Luis Moura is a Lecturer in Electronics at the University of Algarve. Izzat Darwazeh is Senior Lecturer in Telecommunications at University College, London, previously at UMIST. An innovative approach fully integrates the topics of electrical and RF circuits, and noise analysis, with circuit modelling Highly student-focused, the text includes exercises and worked examples throughout, along with end of chapter problems to put theory into practice

The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits, 8th Edition provides an introduction to the analysis, design, and evaluation of electric circuits, focusing on developing the learners design intuition. The text emphasizes the use of computers to assist in design and evaluation. Early introduction to circuit design motivates the student to create circuit solutions and optimize designs based on real-world constraints. This text is an unbound, three hole punched version.

Introduction to Circuit Analysis and Design takes the view that circuits have inputs and outputs, and that relations between inputs and outputs and the terminal characteristics of circuits at input and output ports are all-important in analysis and design. Two-port models, input resistance, output impedance, gain, loading effects, and frequency response are treated in more depth than is traditional. Due attention to these topics is essential preparation for design, provides useful preparation for subsequent courses in electronic devices and circuits, and eases the transition from circuits to systems.

This text is an introduction to the basic principles of electrical engineering and covers DC and AC circuit analysis and Transients. It is intended for all engineering majors and presumes knowledge of first year differential and integral calculus and physics. The last two chapters include step-by-step procedures for the solutions of simple differential equations used in the derivation of the natural and forces responses. Appendices A, B, and C are introductions to MATLAB, Simulink, and SimPowerSystems respectively. Appendix D is a review of Complex Numbers, and Appendix E is an introduction to matrices and determinants.

This book is an undergraduate level textbook presenting a thorough discussion of state-of-the-art digital devices and circuits. It is self-contained.

This is the only book on the market that has been conceived and deliberately written as a one-semester text on basic electric circuit theory. As such, this book employs a novel approach to the exposition of the material in which phasors and ac steady-state analysis are introduced at the beginning. This allows one to use phasors in the discussion of transients excited by ac sources, which makes the presentation of transients more comprehensive and meaningful. Furthermore, the machinery of phasors paves the road to the introduction of transfer functions, which are then used in the analysis of transients and the discussion of Bode plots and filters. Another salient feature of the text is the consolidation into one chapter of the material concerned with dependent sources and operational amplifiers. Dependent sources are introduced as linear models for transistors on the basis of small signal analysis. In the text, PSpice simulations are prominently featured to reinforce the basic material and understanding of circuit analysis. Key Features* Designed as a comprehensive one-semester text in basic circuit theory* Features early introduction of phasors and ac steady-state analysis* Covers the application of phasors and ac steady-state analysis* Consolidates the material on dependent sources and operational amplifiers* Places emphasis on connections between circuit theory and other areas in electrical engineering* Includes PSpice tutorials and examples* Introduces the design of active filters* Includes problems at the end of every chapter* Priced well below similar books designed for year-long courses

Uses a linear system approach to circuit theory. Covers elementary circuit analysis, circuits containing energy storage elements, electric power systems, frequency response and electronic devices. Each chapter contains worked examples and practice problems. Prerequisites are elementary calculus and physics.

Now with a stronger emphasis on applications and more problems, this fifth edition gives readers the opportunity to analyze, design, and evaluate linear circuits right from the start. The design examples, problems and applications provided in the book promote the development of creative and design skills.
