A FIRST COURSE ON ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING covers, comprehensively, both the basic and advanced aspects of electronics and communication. It explains the physics and principle of operation of diode and various other special purpose diodes, including back diode and laser diodes, alongwith essential semiconductor devices like BJT, MOSFET and power electronic devices in detail and discusses a majority of the important configurations and applications of each device. Various modern day audio and video technology and systems are presented in the consumer electronics section and analog communication techniques to microwave and cellular communication principles in the communication engineering section. Written in a reader-friendly style the book is primarily designed to meet the needs of the under-graduate student of several engineering disciplines.
