Circuit Theory : A Systems Approach

Unlike other texts on Circuit Analysis this one is written for a curriculum based on the "DSP First" approach (1,2) and is not intended as a first course in electrical engineering.

Follows a course in signal processing in which students are exposed to Fourier series and transforms, sampling, z-transforms, filters and modulation.

It offers a logical set of topics for teaching a single-semester course on circuit analysis for a second semester in the second year in a four-year ECE curriculum.

One aspect of this approach is its emphasis on the use of a Laplace transform approach early on with an emphasis on system mathematics.

Presents basic circuit concepts in a clear and intuitive style illustrated with simple solved problems.

Offers an original organization for a single semester worth of material emphasizing a systems approach.

Includes Boxed Vignettes or "Danger Boxes" which focus on common areas of student confusion.

Follows the popular 2 color format of SP First (McClellan/Schafer/Yoder) and Fundamental of Applied Electromagnetics (Ulaby). Includes a companion CD-Containing an archive of solved problems, laboratories, demonstrations and visualizations and the full version of LabView
