The material in this comprehensive volume was selected to provide physical insight and thorough understanding of the complex-frequency domain and its application to circuits. Well-organized, self-contained chapters detail analysis and synthesis for passive as well as active networks, present and compare a variety of approximating functions, and emphasize the study of widely used second-order functions and their realizations. Multiple examples designed to facilitate learning and outline the necessary theoretical perspectives and physical concepts for an open-ended approach to physical circuit design are provided.
"A very complete text. It has everything plus the kitchen sink." -- Lawrence Hmurcik, University of Bridgeport
"Professor Budak's book is up to his customary high level of excellence. Recommended!" -- S. E. Sussman-Fort, State University of New York, Stony Brook
"I am very impressed with the breadth and depth of coverage of the text. It is masterfully written." -- J. M. Jacab, Purdue University
"This text addresses a subject area that has been neglected or ignored in recent years. It gives the student a unique view of a formal approach to circuit synthesis." -- Jerry Yeargan, University of Arkansas
