Electronics for Physicists: An Introduction (Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics)
by Bryan H. SuitsThis book provides undergraduate physics majors and students of related sciences with a sound basic understanding of electronics and how it is used, principally in the physical sciences. While today few science students go on to careers that demand an ability to design and build electronic circuits, many will use and rely on electronics. As scientists, they will require an appropriate level of fundamental knowledge that enables them, for example, to understand what electronic equipment is doing, to correctly interpret the measurements obtained, and to appreciate the numerous links between electronics and how it is practiced, and other areas of science. Discussing electronics in the broader context and from the point of view of the scientist, this book is intended for students who are not planning to become electronics specialists. It has been written in a relatively informal, personal style and includes detailed examples, as well as some “outside the box” material to inspire thought and creativity. A selection of relevant exercises is included at the end of each chapter.

Electronics for Scientists
by Daniel F. SantaviccaElectronics for Scientists provides a practical and concise introduction to electrical circuits, signals, and instrumentation for undergraduate students in the physical sciences. No previous familiarity with electronics is required and concepts are grounded in the relevant physics. The book aims to give students the electronics background needed to be successful in experimental science. The book begins with the fundamentals of DC circuits. This is followed by AC circuits and their analysis using the concept of impedance. The transfer function is introduced and used to analyze different types of filter circuits. The conversion between time-domain and frequency-domain signal representations is reviewed. Transmission lines are introduced and used to motivate the different approach to designing microwave-frequency circuits as compared to lower-frequency circuits. The physics of semiconductors is reviewed and used to understand the behavior of diodes and transistors, and a number of diode and transistor circuits is analyzed. The operational amplifier (op-amp) is introduced and several op-amp circuits are analyzed. Techniques for quantifying noise in electrical measurements are described and common sources of noise are discussed. The last major topic is digital circuits, which include analog-to-digital conversion, logic gates, and digital memory circuits. The book concludes with a brief introduction to quantum computing. Designed for a one-semester course, this book brings together a range of topics relevant to experimental science that are not commonly found in a single text. Worked examples are provided throughout the book, and each chapter concludes with a set of problems to reinforce the material covered. The subject of electronics is indispensable to a wide array of scientific and technical fields, and this book seeks to provide an approachable point of access to this rich and important subject.

This practical emphasis makes the book ideal for existing service engineers seeking to gain an NVQ. Numerous questions and worked examples throughout the text allow readers to monitor their own progress, and provide practice for C&G tests.Joe Cieszynski and Dave Fox have a wide mix of experience, both in the field and workshop working on TV and audio, and teaching electronic servicing and security installation at MANCAT. Joe writes regularly for Television magazine.
Electronics for Vinyl
by Douglas SelfElectronics for Vinyl is the most comprehensive book ever produced on the electronic circuitry needed to extract the best possible signal from grooves in vinyl. What is called the "vinyl revival" is in full swing, and a clear and comprehensive account of the electronics you need is very timely. Vinyl reproduction presents some unique technical challenges; the signal levels from moving-magnet cartridges are low, and those from moving-coil cartridges lower still, so a good deal of high-quality low-noise amplification is required. Some of the features of Electronics for Vinyl include: integrating phono amplifiers into a complete preamplifier; differing phono amplifier technologies; covering active, passive, and semi-passive RIAA equalisation and transconductance RIAA stages; the tricky business of getting really accurate RIAA equalisation without spending a fortune on expensive components, such as switched-gain MM/MC RIAA amplifiers that retain great accuracy at all gains, the effects of finite open-loop gain, cartridge-preamplifier interaction, and so on; noise and distortion in phono amplifiers, covering BJTs, FETs, and opamps as input devices, hybrid phono amplifiers, noise in balanced MM inputs, noise weighting, and cartridge load synthesis for ultimately low noise; archival and non-standard equalisation for 78s etc.; building phono amplifiers with discrete transistors; subsonic filtering, covering all-pole filters, elliptical filters, and suppression of subsonics by low-frequency crossfeed, including the unique Devinyliser concept; ultrasonic and scratch filtering, including a variety of variable-slope scratch filters; line output technology, including zero-impedance outputs, on level indication for optimal setup, and on specialised power supplies; and description of six practical projects which range from the simple to the highly sophisticated, but all give exceptional performance. Electronics for Vinyl brings the welcome news that there is simply no need to spend huge sums of money to get performance that is within a hair’s breadth of the best theoretically obtainable. But you do need some specialised knowledge, and here it is.
