This book provides a short introduction to transistor based Audio Amplifier and AM radio receiver circuit design. Chapters 1 - 7 are concerned with differential amplifiers. They provide the necessary background for chapters 8 - 11 which are concerned with the design of an audio amplifier circuit. Audio amplifiers are used to amplify a low audio signal (increase its "loudness") and drive the resulting amplified audio signal through a speaker. This book covers the design of a transistor based audio amplifier that can be readily built on a breadboard. Chapter 12 is concerned with the design of a transistor based AM medium wave radio receiver. It ties nicely to the audio amplifier circuit designed in previous chapters, for the same audio circuit is reused to amplify the audio that's extracted by radio receiver circuit from the AM radio wave. Some AM radio receiver designs require a special type of diode, but the design covered in this book can be implemented with any ordinary diode (any Silicon Diode such as the common 1N4148 diode). The radio circuit can also be built on a breadboard like the audio amplifier, although in case of the radio circuit, it's preferable to solder it. 0.

I hope to fix many of these issues in upcoming editions, and also expand the book. What with imperfections and all, I nonetheless believe the book to be worthwhile, even as it is right now, for those interested in the subject. But if you know yourself as typically unable to overlook linguistic and other imperfections, the book might not be the best choice for you at the moment (although it may well be in the future, when updated editions are released). __ First edition: 03/14/2021

This fascinating book provides a stimulating introduction to analog electronics by analysing the design and construction of a radio transceiver. Essential theoretical background is given along with carefully designed laboratory and homework exercises. The author begins with a thorough description of basic electronic components and simple circuits and goes on to describe the key elements of radio electronics, including filters, amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, and antennas. Laboratory exercises lead the reader through the design, construction, and testing of a popular radio transceiver (the NorCal 40A). A diskette containing the widely known circuit simulation software, Puff, is included in the book. This was the first book to deal with elementary electronics in the context of radio. It can be used as a textbook for introductory analog electronics courses, for more advanced undergraduate classes on radio-frequency electronics, and will also be of great interest to electronics hobbyists and radio enthusiasts.

This volume of Analog Circuit Design concentrates on 3 topics: High-Speed Analog-to-Digital Converters, Mixed Signal Design and PLLs and Synthesizers. The book comprises 6 papers on each topic written by internationally recognized experts. These papers have a tutorial nature aimed at improving the design of analog circuits. The book is divided into 3 parts: Part I, High-Speed Analog-to-Digital Converters, describes the latest techniques for producing analog-to-digital converters for applications in disk drives, radio circuits, XDSL and super HiFi audio conversion. Converters having resolutions between 7-bit and 12-bit using CMOS techniques are presented. A 13-bit bandpass sigma-delta modulator for IF signal conversion concludes this part. Part II, Mixed Signal Design, presents papers that detail nearly all known techniques and design issues for mixed signal circuits using CAD tools. Applications for telecom, sigma-delta converters, systems-on-a-chip and RF circuitry are described. Part III, PLLs and Synthesizers, illustrates up-to-date techniques for combination of inductors on a CMOS chip together with PLL techniques to obtain low-noise frequency synthesizers for telecom applications. Special attention is paid to fractional N synthesizers using sigma-delta algorithms. Analog Circuit Design is an essential reference source for analog design engineers and researchers wishing to keep abreast with the latest developments in the field. The tutorial nature of the contributions also makes it suitable for use in an advanced design course.

Analog Electronics is an 11-chapter text that covers the significant advances in several aspects of analog electronics, with emphasis on how analog circuits work. The opening chapters consider the passive and active components of analog circuits. The succeeding chapters deal with the amplification of audio-frequency electrical signals and their transformation into sound waves, as well as the passive signal processing and transmission. The discussion then shifts to the active signal processing in frequency and time domain. Other chapters examine the mechanism of radio-frequency circuits, signal sources, and power supplies. The closing chapter tackles the commercial and professional application of electronics. This book will prove useful to engineers, technicians, and students.

Handbook of Analog Circuit Design deals with general techniques involving certain circuitries and designs. The book discusses instrumentation and control circuits that are part of circuit designs. The text reviews the organization of electronics as structural (what it is), causal (what it does), and functional (what it is for). The text also explains circuit analyses and the nature of design. The book then describes some basic amplified circuits and commonly used procedures in analyzing them using tests of amplification, input resistance, and output resistance. The text then explains the feedback circuits—similar to mathematical recursion or to iterative loops in computer software programs. The book also explains high performance amplification in analog-to-digital converters, or vice versa, and the use of composite topologies to improve performance. The text then enumerates various other signal-processing functions considered as part of analog circuit design. The monograph is helpful for radio technicians, circuit designers, instrumentation specialists, and students in electronics.
