Publisher's Synopsis
Software tools applied to circuit analysis and design are rapidly evolving, enabling students to move beyond the time–consuming, math–intensive methods of traditional circuit instruction. By incorporating MATLAB® 7.0 and PSpice® 10.0, alongside systematic use of the Laplace transform, Yang and Lee help readers rapidly gain an intuitive understanding of circuit concepts.
- Unified scheme using the Laplace transform accelerates comprehension
- Focuses on interpreting solutions and evaluating design results, not laborious computation
- Most examples illustrated with MATLAB® analyses and PSpice® simulations
- Downloadable programs available for hands–on practice
- Over 130 problems to reinforce and extend conceptual understanding
- Includes expanded coverage of key areas such as:
- Positive feedback OP Amp circuits
- Nonlinear resistor circuit analysis
- Real world 555 timer circuit examples
- Power factor correction programs
- Three–phase AC power system analysis
- Two–port parameter conversion
Based on decades of teaching electrical engineering students, Yang and Lee have written this text for a full course in circuit theory or circuit analysis. Researchers and engineers without extensive electrical engineering backgrounds will also find this book a helpful introduction to circuit systems.
