For close to 30 years, A Textbook of Applied Electronics has been a comprehensive text for undergraduate students of Electronics and Communications Engineering. The book comprises of 35 chapters, all delving on important concepts such as structure of solids, DC resistive circuits, PN junction, PN junction diode, rectifiers and filters, hybrid parameters, power amplifiers, sinusoidal oscillators, and time base circuits. In addition, the book consists of several chapter-wise questions and detailed diagrams to understand the complex concepts of applied electronics better. This book is also becomes an essential-read for aspirants preparing for competitive examinations like GATE and NET.
This book provides a sound introduction to basic electronic concepts in a lively and practical format. It effectively meets the needs of both the electronics option of the advanced GNVQ in engineering and the BTEC National certificate in electronics and includes hands-on practical investigations and self-test questions which will appeal to a wide range of readers. Applied Electronics employs user-friendly text and a non-mathematical approach to develop the reader's ability and understanding of the principles of analogue and digital electronics. Beginning with the semiconductor devices themselves, it progresses through amplifiers and power supplies to combinational and sequential logic.

A fresh look at modern electronics. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this title offers a comprehensive introduction to many areas of electronics. Appropriate for all abilities, it explains how useful systems, such as computers and mobile phones, can be assembled from a small range of integrated circuits. This is a valuable course text for Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE Electronics and for any other advanced electronics course.
This book presents the most relevant and recent results in the study of “Nanoelectromagnetics”, a recently born fascinating research discipline, whose popularity is fast arising with the intensive penetration of nanotechnology in the world of electronics applications. Studying nanoelectromagnetics means describing the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and quantum mechanical low-dimensional systems: this requires a full interdisciplinary approach, the reason why this book hosts contributions from the fields of fundamental and applied electromagnetics, of chemistry and technology of nanostructures and nanocomposites, of physics of nano-structures systems, etc. The book is aimed at providing the reader with the state of the art in Nanoelectromagnetics, from theoretical modelling to experimental characterization, from design to synthesis, from DC to microwave and terahertz applications, from the study of fundamental material properties to the analysis of complex systems and devices, from commercial thin-film coatings to metamaterials to circuit components and nanodevices. The book is intended as a reference in advanced courses for graduate students and as a guide for researchers and industrial professionals involved in nanoelectronics and nanophotonics applications.
