Preface
The
main purpose of this handbook is a HANDS-ON APPROACH in learning analog
circuits.
In
each section, an analog component is introduced and then a software/hardware
circuit will follow. The software circuit can be implemented by electronic
circuit design and simulation software such as Multisim
®.
The
main goal of this handbook is to create a vast visualization of the working
function of the analog electronics circuitries. Based on my experience in
teaching electronics, students had more problems with setting up the hardware
circuits than software circuits. Therefore, one of my main intentions in
writing this handbook is to guide the students through setting up a complete
wiring of the circuits.
This
handbook is a COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE of the practical working of the analog
circuits and can be used as analog electronics textbook/lab manual in analog
electronics course.
