Passive and Active Circuits by Example

<p>This book enables readers to become familiar with passive and active realizations of the impedances and important filter transfer functions (TFs). Firstly time <i>s</i> and frequency domain analysis of the R-L R-C and R-L-C circuits are discussed. Then active realizations of the impedances and TFs using different active devices are introduced. Readers will benefit from an example-driven approach to topics such as operational amplifiers current followers voltage followers unity gain inverting amplifiers negative impedance converters first-generation current conveyors second-generation current conveyors third-generation current conveyors differential voltage current conveyors etc. will be introduced which will be accompanied with a number of examples. Non-ideal gain effects on the performance of the active circuits are also demonstrated.</p><p></p>
