Analog Circuits Cookbook

Ian Hickman's previous books, "Analog Electronics" and "Practical Radio Frequency Handbook", have provided engineers and students alike with comprehensive primers. In the "Analog Circuits Cookbook", Hickman offers advice on aspects of analogue design, from direct digital synthesis to radio frequency measurements, and from optoelectronics to logarithmic amplifiers. Based on articles in "Electronics World and Wireless World", including the popular "Design Brief" feature, this book provides a diet of high quality design techniques and practices, and proven circuit designs, all concerned with analogue, RF or interface fields of electronics. The author uses illustrations and examples rather than tough mathematical theory to present a wealth of ideas and tips based on his own workbench experience. Electronic designers, students and experimenters, whether novices or old hands, should find this book provides a useful guide based on practical applications to the world of analogue circuits.
