Product Description
In its early chapters this book develops a unified approach for dealing with nonlinear semiconductor circuits which are used in conjunction with selective band-pass filters. With these concepts as the fundamental tools, the subsequent chapters explore the basics of sinusoidal oscillators, mixing circuits, power amplifiers, amplitude modulators and demodulators, and frequency modulators and demodulators. Much of the material in the later chapters is unique. In particular, the chapters dealing with frequency modulation and demodulation develop the functional form of almost all existing modulation circuits from a few basic theoretical concepts; such a unified treatment does not exist anywhere else.

brilliant exposition of non-linear devices April 28, 2008

I took some undergrad electronics courses and used one of those 50lb textbooks with fancy pictures and tons of problems at the end of each chapter. After a year of taking undergraduate electronics and doing all those problems, I still found transistors mysterious and scary. Then I was introduced to this rather small, light textbook in a graduate electronics class and boy am I glad I got my hands on this thing. After reading the first chapter, I was enlightened beyond belief. I have to admit that the math is intense (mostly Bessel functions and stuff) but the analysis is very general and very rigorous with the assumptions and simplifications clearly spelled out before any analysis. I can go on and on about what a great book this is but I will only say that if you're looking for a rigorous mathematical treatment of non-linear devices then this book is for you. If, on the other hand, infinite summations of Bessel functions scare you then stay away and stick with one of those kiddie undergrad electronics textbooks like Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith which is packed with lots of useless, redundant stuff and enjoy throwing your back out everytime you have to bring that thing to school/work.

This was the text that i used in my university courses in Peru.It was absolutely important in my education and is nowadays a excelent book to check problems engaged with small signal!.
