Basic Communications Electronics focuses on analog electronics. Engineers and system designers first used electronic devices in analog systems - from simple gauges to the first computers - to create the foundation for today's sophisticated electronic systems. This educational text explains how analog electronic devices are used to create communications systems. It concentrates on semiconductor devices - bipolar and field-effect transistors - and integrated circuits using these devices. Using easy-to-read, easy-to-understand explanations coupled with detailed illustrations, learning how these devices work and are used in analog circuits will give you a foundation to help you understand the development of communications electronics.
