Computer Aided Analysis and Design of Electronic Networks Book

This is a textbook for undergraduates in electronic engineering, communications engineering and CAD. The author introduces the reader to the theoretical basis of the analysis and design of analogue electronic circuits and thereafter concentrates on the practical aspects of the various techniques employed. This is achieved by illustrating the algorithms with small computer programs written in the language Modula-2. This is the most suitable language for writing small to medium sized programs in this environment. Modula-2 syntax diagrams are included in an appendix. The reader's understanding of the material is aided by worked examples and end of chapter chapter. While there is considerable emphasis on the design of digital circuits (VLSI) in most courses, addressing analogue circuits is mandatory on all UK courses. The book avoids dependence on any particular software design package but includes an introduction to SPICE. This is currently the most commonly used package in the research and development of circuits and incorporates many of the analysis techniques described in the text.Read More
