SUPERCHARGE your understanding of
ELECTRONICS
Learn electronics without getting your wires crossed!
Electronics Demystified, Second Edition teaches you
fundamental concepts and applications step by step.
This practical guide begins by covering voltage, current,
resistance, impedance, admittance, and power supplies. The book goes
on to discuss semiconductor diodes, transistors, integrated
circuits, and signal amplifiers and oscillators.
Wireless electronics is then addressed, including radio-frequency
transmitters and receivers, telecommunications, and antennas.
Detailed examples make it easy to understand the material.
End-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam help reinforce key topics.
It's a no-brainer! You'll learn about:
- Ohm's law
- Current and voltage in RL and RC
circuits
- Oscillation and amplification
- Bipolar and field-effect transistors
- Radio-wave propagation
- Receiver and transmitter design
- Communications satellites and antennas
