Description
New Age International (P) Ltd Publishers Foundations Of Electronics 3Rd Edition 2015 by Professor D Chattopadhyay, Professor P C Rakshit, Dr Balaram Saha
This book covers the newly introduced course on Electronics at the B.Sc. Physics (Honours) level. It would also be useful to the students of other discipline taking a basic course on Electronics.
In this book the subject-matter has been dealt with in a clear and concise way with many explanatory diagrams. Emphasis has been given to the clarification of the basic physical principles; mathematical details have also been worked out, where necessary. Modern aspects and applications of Electronics have been described to the extent suitable for the beginners. Numerous solved problems have been incorporated to make the students acquainted with the applications of the principles and formulae they have learnt in the text. A variety of questions and problems have also been included for the practice of the students.
The book contains seventeen chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the introductory concepts. In Chapter 2, the modes of electron emission, particularly thermionic emission, are discussed. Electron tubes, specifically the vaccum diode and triode, are considered in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is devoted to the basic properties of semiconductors. P-N junction diodes are taken care of in Chapter 5. Bipolar transistors are discussed in Chapters 6 and 7. Field-effect transistors together with some special semiconductor devices are contained in Chapter 8. Integrated circuits, operational amplifiers, and their applications are described in Chapter 9. Voltage and power amplifiers, feedback amplifiers and oscillators are considered in Chapters 10, 11, and 12 respectively. Modulation and detection is the subject matter of Chapter 13. Digital electronics has been treated in a comprehensive way in Chapter 14. The cathode ray oscilloscope and its applications are included in Chapter 15. Radio communication and television are considered in Chapters 16 and 17 respectively
