Applied Circuit Analysis

A thorough treatment of all major aspects of circuit analysis is offered in this book. Simple ideas are developed into broader concepts (eg Thevenin's theorem is introduced via a preliminary example of conventional analysis). Discussion of state variables, presented early in the text, gives physical meaning to the mathematical development. Superposition is presented as a unifying principle in discussions of the formulation of loop, node, and state equations; Thevenin's theorem; convolution; Fourier series analysis; and zero state responses. An introduction is given to frequency response, filters, and resonance from several points of view. Also included is an in- depth treatment of stability and a presentation of basic graph theory which facilitates systematic formulation of network equations, their sufficiency and solvability. Solved examples, end-of-chapter problems, and tables of trigonometric functions, integrals, and transforms are contained.
