Linear Circuit Transfer Functions

<p><i>Linear Circuit Transfer Functions: <i>An introduction to Fast Analytical Techniques </i></i>teaches readers how to determine transfer functions of linear passive and active circuits by applying Fast Analytical Circuits Techniques. Building on their existing knowledge of classical loop/nodal analysis, the book improves and expands their skills to unveil transfer functions in a swift and efficient manner.</p> <p>Starting with simple examples, the author explains step-by-step how expressing circuits time constants in different configurations leads to writing transfer functions in a compact and insightful way. By learning how to organize numerators and denominators in the fastest possible way, readers will speed-up analysis and predict the frequency response of simple to complex circuits. In some cases, they will be able to derive the final expression by inspection, without writing a line of algebra.</p> <p><b>Key features:</b></p> <ul> <li>Emphasizes analysis through employing time constant-based methods discussed in other text books but not widely used or explained.</li> <li>Develops current techniques on transfer functions, to fast analytical techniques leading to <i>low-entropy </i>transfer functions immediately exploitable for analysis purposes.</li> <li>Covers calculation techniques pertinent to different fields, electrical, electronics, signal processing etc.</li> <li>Describes how a technique is applied and demonstrates this through real design examples.</li> <li>All Mathcad^® files used in examples and problems are freely available for download.</li> </ul> <p>An ideal reference for electronics or electrical engineering professionals as well as BSEE and MSEE students, this book will help teach them how to: become skilled in the art of determining transfer function by using less algebra and obtaining results in a more effectual way; gain insight into a circuit’s operation by understanding how time constants rule dynamic responses; apply Fast Analytical Techniques to simple and complicated circuits, passive or active and be more efficient at solving problems.</p>
