Buchsbaum's Complete handbook of practical electronic reference data

In this up-to-the-minute guide, you'll find hundreds of formulas, graphs, charts and tables to help you work more efficiently in every major area of electronics. Covering all the latest aspects of the electronics field, this book is enormously helpful to the television repairman, the hobbyist who wants to understand basic circuits, and the engineer who wants to find a needed design formula fast. In addition, there are valuable definitions, standards and basic reference information for the field engineer, the laboratory technician, the circuit designer, the systems analyst, the space scientist, the medical technologist, and those who teach courses in the various areas of electronics. HUNDREDS OF DIAGRAMS MAKE YOUR WORK EASIER Walter Buchsbaum, an electronics expert with over 25 years of experience, has compiled hundreds of simple circuit diagrams, charts and tables—together with simple explanations and examples, so that you can just "plug-in" your numbers and get rapid solutions. COVERS FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONICS The first part of this book gives you the fundamentals of networks, filters, transformers, tubes, transistors and microelectronics— together with all of the units, standards, sizes, electrical and mechanical component properties which form the foundation of electronics. You will constantly use this information to design and troubleshoot circuits, to calculate component values, understand manufacturers' literature and look up the formulas you know, but cannot remember. INCLUDES MAJOR SPECIALIZED TOPICS A large section of this book deals with the practical knowledge, working formulas and de- sign techniques of specialized topics such as antennas radio broadcasting computers . radar ... communications systems ... television systems ... industrial electronics . bio-med.
