The Analysis and Design of Linear Circuits

This text is a classical presentation of linear circuit theory emphasizing circuit analysis and how to evaluate competing designs. The text integrates active and passive linear circuits allowing students to understand and design a wide range of circuits. The authors use both phasors and Laplace techniques to AC circuits enabling better understanding of frequency response, filters, AC power, and transformers. The text is designed for two semesters and is complemented with robust supplementary material to enhance various pedagogical approaches desired by the instructor. The text provides considerable examples and exercises throughout the narrative. The authors have increased the integration of MATLAB and Multisim in the text and revised content to be up-to-date with technology when appropriate (electric cars, Sonar, delivery drones, altimeters, 5G, etc.)
