Preface

This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in electrical and other engineering disciplines as well as for professionals in related fields. It is assumed that the reader has already completed electrical circuit and electronics courses covering basic concepts such as Ohm’s, Kirchhoff’s, Ampere’s and Faraday’s laws, Norton and Thevenin equivalent circuits, Fourier analysis, and the characteristics of diodes and transistors. This text combines these technologies and can serve as an introduction for an undergraduate course – where the prerequisites are circuits and electron
