Text book recommendation on "Electronics and Communication"

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on textbook recommendations for an "Electronics and Communication" course, covering topics such as field effect transistors, operational amplifiers, and digital modulation schemes. A key recommendation is "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill, which is deemed sufficient for the course content. Additionally, the companion manual for this textbook is suggested for further support. The participant expresses a need for foundational knowledge due to their physics major background.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of field effect transistors and operational amplifiers
  • Familiarity with analogue and digital modulation schemes
  • Basic knowledge of combinational and sequential circuits
  • Mathematical concepts including calculus and Fourier analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "The Art of Electronics" by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill
  • Explore the companion manual for "The Art of Electronics"
  • Study operational amplifiers and their applications in circuits
  • Learn about analogue and digital modulation techniques
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students majoring in physics or related fields who are taking courses in electronics and communication, as well as educators seeking reliable textbook resources for teaching these subjects.

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,
