Circuits and Systems: A Modern Approach

A circuit, or an electronic circuit, refers to a system comprising electrical components and conductors through which electrical current flows. Inductors, resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors are the various components that are said to be integral parts of circuits. Circuits facilitate a multitude of operations, including amplifying signals and transmitting data. Circuits can be constructed in various ways, either through individual connected wires or by interconnecting components on laminated substrates using photolithographic techniques. Different types of circuits used for testing new designs include breadboards, stripboards, and perfboards. Their ease of redesign makes these circuits convenient for designers to implement changes swiftly. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and applications of circuits and systems. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
