Author Description

Worked Examples in Basic Electronics provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of electronics. This book covers a variety of topics, including resistance–capacitance coupled voltage amplifier, low-frequency amplification, radio-frequency amplification, transistors, oscillators, electron ballistics, and transmission lines. Organized into 11 chapters, this book begins with an overview of voltage amplification factor. This text then discusses the differences between the volt-ampere characteristic of an actual junction diode and that predicted by the equation. Other chapters consider the factors that affect the choice of the optimum load for a class A transformer-coupled power amplifier using a triode and a pentode. This book discusses as well the relative merits of two types of amplifier circuit commonly used as r.f. input stages. The final chapter deals with the two methods of producing a standing wave ratio of unity on a concentric feeder terminated with a load that is not equal to it characteristic impedance. This book is a valuable resource for engineers and technicians.
