Hickman’s Analog and RF Circuits
Hickman’s Analog and RF Circuits latest guide is essential reading for anyone designing analog circuits. This book, along with the recent Analog Circuits Cookbook also available from Newnes, will enlighten, inform, interest and even amuse readers, and give them the ability to tackle analog and RF design problems with confidence.Based on articles published in Electronics World, this book covers such topics as RF amplifiers, oscillator design and behaviour, waveform analysis, optoelectronics, filters and op-amps, as well as offering intriguing insights in chapters such as Cautionary Tales for Circuit Designers, Circuit Reflections and Is Matching Easy?
Ian Hickman is one of the world’s leading analog and RF engineers. Using illustrations and examples rather than tough mathematical theory, Ian Hickman presents a wealth of ideas and tips based on his own workbench experience.
Hickman’s Analog and RF Circuits have been grouped in four sections: General analog circuitry, Audio, RF and Basic principles. The latter section contains the ‘Cathode Ray’-style explanatory articles, though it must be said that to some extent any classification scheme must be arbitrary- some articles could equally well be included under two if not three of the four groupings mentioned above. But that is neither here nor there; the important things are the articles themselves. So now, please read on . . . .
