Network Analysis and Synthesis  (English, Paperback, Wadhwa C. L.)

This book has been designed as a basic text for undergraduate students of electrical, electronics and communication and computer engineering. In a systematic and friendly manner, the book explains not only the fundamental concepts like circuit elements, Kirchhoff`s laws, network equations and resonance, but also the relatively advanced topics like state variable analysis, modern filters, active RC filters and sensitivity considerations.

• Basic circuit elements, time and periodic signals and different types of systems defined and explained.
• Network reduction techniques and source transformation discussed.
• Network theorems explained using typical examples.
• Solution of networks using graph theory discussed.
• Analysis of first order, second order circuits and a perfect transform using differential equations discussed.
• Theory and application of Fourier and Laplace transforms discussed in detail.
• Interconnections of two-port networks and their performance in terms of their poles and zeros emphasised.
• Both Foster and Cauer forms of realisation explained in network synthesis.
• Classical and modern filter theory explained.
• Z-transform for discrete systems explained.
• Analogous systems and SPICE discussed.
• Numerous solved examples and practice problems for a thorough graph of the subject.
• A huge question bank of multiple choice questions with answers exhaustively covering the topics discussed.
• With all these features, the book would be extremely useful not only for undergraduate engineering students but also for AMIE and GATE candidates and practising engineers.
