Practical Analog, Digital, and Embedded Electronics for Scientists (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

All science and engineering programmes would benefit from their students having familiarity with analog, digital and embedded electronics. This book provides an integrated lecture and laboratory course in electronics for science students. It puts equal emphasis on experimental methods, results and analysis using device models and up-to-date mathematical and numerical tools. The aim is to foster an understanding of and intuition for modern electronic devices and circuits that are central to many aspects of our research, work, and play. The practical hands-on approach serves this aim well.

This book is different to other electronics texts available. First, it is short. Created for a one-semester course taken by physics students, both undergraduate and graduate it includes only the essentials and covers those topics only as deeply as needed in order to understand the material in the integrated laboratory exercises. Unlike many electronics texts for physics students, this one does not delve into the physics of devices. Instead, these are largely treated as black boxes having certain properties that are important to know for designing circuits. The physics comes when the students use their acquired electronics instrumentation knowledge to construct apparatus to make measurements. Since the detailed physics has been left out, this book should be equally useful for students in any of the physical or life sciences. Much of the analog and digital electronics know-how that is learned in the early sections are put to use in the section on embedded electronics.

This is the first textbook aimed at the non-electrical engineering student, that has both the generality on analog and digital electronics circuits, coupled to the very timely technology of embedded electronics. The book also features homework exercises, parts list and a suite of useful appendices.

Autorenporträt

Brett D DePaola is a Professor of physics at Kansas State University. He received his BS and MS in physics from Miami University, and his PhD in physics from The University of Texas at Dallas. DePaola's research in atomic, molecular, and optical physics covers a wide range of topics, from ion-atom collisions to coherent control using ultra-short laser pulses. The over-arching theme is the understanding of basic physical processes at the atomic level. His most recent research explores how modulating the spectral phase of ultra-short laser pulses affects coherent excitation in atoms and simple molecules. DePaola has made seminal contributions to the measurement technique known as MOTRIMS, he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has won numerous teaching awards as well as given invited lectures worldwide.
