This is a book for a lab course meant to accompany, or follow, any standard course in electronic circuit analysis. It has been written for sophomore or junior electrical and computer engineering students, either concurrently with their electronic circuit analysis class or following that class. This book is appropriate for non-majors, such as students in other branches of engineering and in physics, for which electronic circuits is a required course or elective and for whom a working knowledge of electronic circuits is desirable. This book has the following objectives: 1. To support, verify, and supplement the theory; to show the relations and differences between theory and practice. 2. To teach measurement techniques. 3. To convince students that what they are taught in their lecture classes is real and useful. 4. To help make students tinkerers and make them used to asking “what if” questions.

The emphasis is first on understanding the characteristics of basic circuits including resistors, capacitors, diodes, and bipolar and field effect transistors. The readers then use this understanding to construct more complex circuits such as power supplies, differential amplifiers, tuned circuit amplifiers, a transistor curve tracer, and a digital voltmeter. In addition, readers are exposed to special topics of current interest, such as the propagation and detection of signals through fiber optics, the use of Van der Pauw patterns for precise linewidth measurements, and high gain amplifiers based on active loads. KEY TOPICS: Chapter topics include Thevenin's Theorem; Resistive Voltage Division; Silicon Diodes; Resistor Capacitor Circuits; Half Wave Rectifiers; DC Power Supplies; Diode Applications; Bipolar Transistors; Field Effect Transistors; Characterization of Op-Amp Circuits; Transistor Curve Tracer; Introduction to PSPICE and AC Voltage Dividers; Characterization and Design of Emitter and Source Followers; Characterization and Design of an AC Variable Gain Amplifier; Design of Test Circuits for BJT's and FET's and Design of FET Ring Oscillators; Design and Characterization of Emitter Coupled Transistor Pairs; Tuned Amplifier and Oscillator; Design of Am Radio Frequency Transmitter and Receiver; Design of Oscillators Using Op-Amps; Current Mirrors and Active Loads; Sheet Resistance; Design of Analog Fiber Optic Transmission System; Digital Voltmeter.

This book is evolved from the experience of the author who taught all lab courses in his three decades of teaching in various universities in India. The objective of this lab manual is to provide information to undergraduate students to practice experiments in electronics laboratories. This book covers 118 experiments for linear/analog integrated circuits lab, communication engineering lab, power electronics lab, microwave lab and optical communication lab. The experiments described in this book enable the students to learn: • Various analog integrated circuits and their functions • Analog and digital communication techniques • Power electronics circuits and their functions • Microwave equipment and components • Optical communication devices This book is intended for the B.Tech students of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Biomedical Electronics, Instrumentation and Control, Computer Science, and Applied Electronics. It is designed not only for engineering students, but can also be used by BSc/MSc (Physics) and Diploma students. KEY FEATURES • Contains aim, components and equipment required, theory, circuit diagram, pin-outs of active devices, design, tables, graphs, alternate circuits, and troubleshooting techniques for each experiment • Includes viva voce and examination questions with their answers • Provides exposure on various devices TARGET AUDIENCE • B.Tech (Electronics and Communication Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Biomedical Electronics, Instrumentation and Control, Computer Science, and Applied Electronics) • BSc/MSc (Physics) • Diploma (Engineering)

This lab manual is intended to support the students of undergraduate engineering in the related fields of electronics engineering for practicing laboratory experiments. It will also be useful to the undergraduate students of electrical science branches of engineering and applied science. This book begins with an introduction to the electronic components and equipment, and the experiments for electronics workshop. Further, it covers experiments for basic electronics lab, electronic circuits lab and digital electronics lab. A separate chapter is devoted to the simulation of electronics experiments using PSpice. Each experiment has aim, components and equipment required, theory, circuit diagram, tables, graphs, alternate circuits, answered questions and troubleshooting techniques. Answered viva voce questions and solved examination questions given at the end of each experiment will be very helpful for the students. The purpose of the experiments described here is to acquaint the students with: • Analog and digital devices • Design of circuits • Instruments and procedures for electronic test and measurement

With 28 laboratory experiments, this manual offers thorough coverage of modern semiconductor devices. Topics begin at basic semiconductor devices such as signal diodes, LEDs and Zeners; and proceeds through NPN and PNP bipolar transistors and field effect devices. Applications include rectifiers, clippers, clampers, AC to DC power supplies, transistor biasing, small and large signal class A amplifiers, followers, class B amplifiers, ohmic region FET applications and more. An extensive DC power supply project is included as well. Appendices include a symbol glossary, an overview of using a spreadsheet to view data graphically, and links to manufacturer's data sheets. Each experiment includes a parts list and test equipment inventory. Most exercises may be completed just using a digital multimeter, dual DC power supply, a function generator and oscilloscope.
