Linear Circuits (Analysis and Synthesis) By A Ramakalyan

Linear Circuits is designed to serve as a textbook for a core course in electrical circuit theory-network thoery.Linear Circuits is designed to serve as an introductory course in circuit analysis and synthesis. The book provides in-depth coverage of the various topics while maintaining the right balance between theory and problem-solving techniques.

The book begins with simple networks and introduces the reader to the analysis of resistive circuits energized by dc sources. The analysis of complex circuits is discussed first using phasors and then using Laplace transformation. Basic circuit concepts are reinforced and exemplified by relating them to everyday phenomena. The book also covers the synthesis of passive networks. This is followed by a brief discussion on operational amplifiers, Fourier analysis, and general linear Systems. It introduces SPICE as a data structure and uses it in the analysis of circuits. Wrriten in an easy-to-understand and student-friendly manner, the book includes several illustrative examples. Thought-provoking exercises are interspersed throughout the te xt to emphasize the fundamental concepts as well as to help the students develop problem-solving skills. The book also includes numerous chapter-end problems.
