Summary

Circuit Analysis Essentials: A Signal Processing Approach presents fundamentals of DC and AC circuit analysis, using a signal processing approach that is relevant to a contemporary electronics curriculum. The book's focus on signal processing circuits emphasizes the practicality and usefulness of circuit analysis in the design of electronic circuits used to create and process electronic signals. MATLAB and MultiSIM illustrations throughout provide a visual component to the learning process, while well-designed end-of-chapter exercises develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
