Electronics from the Ground Up: Learn by Hacking, Designing, and Inventing e-bog

Discover the inner-workings of electronics through innovative hands-on experimentsAre you fascinated by the power of even the smallest electronic device? Electronics from the Ground Up guides you through step-by-step experiments that reveal how electronic circuits function so you can advance your skills and design custom circuits. You'll work with a range of circuits and signals related to optical emitters and receivers, audio, oscillators, and video.This practical resource explains components, construction techniques, basic test equipment, circuit analysis, and troubleshooting. Photographs, schematics, equations, and graphs are included throughout. By the end of the book, you'll be able to hack and modify existing circuits to create your own unique designs.Do-it-yourself experiments cover:Batteries, lamps, and flashlightsLight emitters and receiversDiodes, rectifiers, and associated circuitsTransistors, FETs, and vacuum tubesAmplifiers and feedbackAudio signals and circuitsOscillatorsAM and FM signals and circuitsVideo basics, including video signalsVideo circuits and systems"e;Excellent Nothing can replace hands-on experience and Quan immerses the hobbyist/designer right into the fray up to their elbows."e;-EDN Magazine
