Text book recommendation on "Electronics and Communication"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a student preparing for an optional course in "Electronics and Communication," expressing uncertainty about many topics in the syllabus, including field effect transistors, operational amplifiers, and various modulation schemes. The student, majoring in physics, seeks recommendations for background texts to better understand the material. A prominent suggestion is "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill, which is deemed sufficient for the course. Additionally, the importance of the companion manual for this text is highlighted as a valuable resource for further study.

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,

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
