Introduction to Circuit Analysis and Design

Introduction to Circuit Analysis and Design takes the view that circuits have inputs and outputs, and that relations between inputs and outputs and the terminal characteristics of circuits at input and output ports are all-important in analysis and design. Two-port models, input resistance, output impedance, gain, loading effects, and frequency response are treated in more depth than is traditional. Due attention to these topics is essential preparation for design, provides useful preparation for subsequent courses in electronic devices and circuits, and eases the transition from circuits to systems.

Tildon H. Glisson is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at North Carolina State University, where he taught graduate and undergraduate courses in communication, control, signal processing, and (most recently) electric circuits. He served as Director of Graduate Programs for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and as Associate Dean and Interim Dean of the College of Engineering.
