HPH A Text Book of Electronics Engineering by Dr. D.C. Tayal

Most of the technical Universities have introduced a course on Electronics Engineering in the curriculum of B.Tech / B.Sc. (Engg) for all branches. A Text Book of Electronics Engineering intends to cater the need of Undergraduate Engineering students of all Indian Universities. This text provides the comprehensive treatment for the Electronic circuit analysis & designing. The subject matter is arranged - presented in lucid manner, so that the practicing professionals as well as under-graduate Physics / Electronics students will find this text equally useful.

Beginning with basic circuit elements, the whole subject matter has been divided in 12 chapters. The first chapter deals with the circuit elements and four terminal network. The second chapter presents the bulk properties of semi-conductors, such as, doping of impurities, charge densities and Fermi-levels in extrinsic semiconductors along with the theory of Hall effect & thermistors. The third chapter offers semiconductor diodes. The qualitative theory of p-n junction, depletion region, biasing of p-n diode, Zener diodes & microwave semiconductor diodes, Opto-electronic devices, such as Photo, Photovolatic cells, LEDs & LCDs are discussed in details.

The rectifiers and other diode applications, such as Clamping, Clipping and Voltage multiplier circuits have been given in chapter 4. The Bipolar Junction Transistors, their various configurations and corresponding characteristics are discussed in chapter 5. The Transistor amplifiers, their classifications and biasing are described in chapter 6 along with the theory of single stage transistor amplifier, two stage RC-coupled amplifier, distortion in amplifiers and power amplifiers.
