Text book recommendation on "Electronics and Communication"

In summary, the conversation discusses an optional course on "Electronics and Communication" with a syllabus covering various topics such as field effect transistors, operational amps, analogue and digital conversion, communication theory and modulation schemes. The person seeking information has a background in physics and is looking for recommended texts to gain background knowledge. The suggested resource is Horrowitz & Hill's "Art of Electronics" and its companion manual.

Hello,

I have an optional course this upcoming semester on "Electronics and Communication" for which the course syllabus is roughly:

Field effect transistors, transistor circuits, Operational Amps, analogue to digital conversion (and vice versa), combinational circuits, sequential circuits, Flips flops, registers, counters,serial and parallel data transfer, Communication theory, Analogue Modulation Schemes - AM and FM, signal detection and demodulation, Digital modulation schemes, Noise.

Honestly, I do not know what ~ 80% of those things are (majoring in physics) and I'd like to know of some good texts I could refer to for background information if necessary.

Maths background : Calculus, Differential equations, complex variables theory, some Fourier analysis.

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?

Greg Bernhardt,

I found out about Horrowitz & Hill - Art of Electronics. I think it'll be enough for this particular course.

If you are going to Look at Horowitz and Hill, you might want to look at the companion manual as well,
