Circuit Design. From Basics to Creating Practical Devices

The book is dedicated to the art of circuit design, inviting the reader into the world of creating electronic circuits on various component bases (transistors, integrated circuits, and even vacuum tubes). The practical authors have applied a dialogue method and... a step-by-step approach to cover the basics of circuit design - from simple to complex. This approach is convenient for both radio amateurs and novice developers. Throughout the dialogue between the radio amateur and the author, the reader will transition from blindly copying circuits to creating their own practical designs using various component bases.
The depth of consideration is combined with utmost accessibility, using simple and «transparent» methods of circuit synthesis and analysis. Those who find certain sections difficult or uninteresting at first may skip them. There is an interesting analysis of common misconceptions and mistakes, revealing many secrets from the practice of electronic circuit developers. Necessary places in the text of the book contain QR codes intended for instant access to the required resources (online videos, interactive calculators, reference information). The app «QR and Barcode Scanner» launched on a smartphone (tablet) allows for quick navigation to the required link by pointing the device at the QR code while reading the book.
The book is intended for a wide range of radio amateurs, as well as students of radio engineering specialties, novice and professional developers.
