| Review: | This book requires the reader to have no previous knowledge of electronics and provides a clear step-by-step guide to practical electronics and the basic principles of electronics and circuitry. It begins by discussing electricity and the laws that govern its behaviour in circuits and goes on to describe basic electronic components and their use in simple electronic circuits. The next few chapters look at a how a range of electronic sensors, such as thermal and optical sensors, work and how they are used in electronic circuits. The methods for making electronic circuits from components and the techniques of manufacturing silicon chips are described, as well as the methods of testing them. The last few chapters cover electronic circuits used for specific purposes, such as in amplifiers, logic circuits, audio equipment, computing, telecommunications (including TV and video) and microwave technology. |
