Electronics from the Ground Up: Learn by Hacking, Designing, and Inventing

<h4>Discover the inner-workings of electronics through innovative hands-on experiments</h4> <p>Are you fascinated by the power of even the smallest electronic device? <i>Electronics from the Ground Up</i> guides you through step-by-step experiments that reveal how electronic circuits function so you can advance your skills and design custom circuits. You€ll work with a range of circuits and signals related to optical emitters and receivers, audio, oscillators, and video.</p> <p>This practical resource explains components, construction techniques, basic test equipment, circuit analysis, and troubleshooting. Photographs, schematics, equations, and graphs are included throughout. By the end of the book, you€ll be able to hack and modify existing circuits to create your own unique designs.</p> <p>Do-it-yourself experiments cover:</p> <ul><li>Batteries, lamps, and flashlights</li> <li>Light emitters and receivers</li> <li>Diodes, rectifiers, and associated circuits</li> <li>Transistors, FETs, and vacuum tubes</li> <li>Amplifiers and feedback</li> <li>Audio signals and circuits</li> <li>Oscillators</li> <li>AM and FM signals and circuits</li> <li>Video basics, including video signals</li> <li>Video circuits and systems</li> </ul> <p><font>€œExcellent€¦ Nothing can replace hands-on experience and Quan immerses the hobbyist/designer right into the fray up to their elbows.€€"EDN Magazine</font></p>
