The third edition of this successful book retains the many essential features of the first and second editions that have appealed to its many users and has added valuable new material on PSPICE and MATLAB. The outstanding core material includes waveform analysis, including waveform synthesis using step and ramp functions; capacitive and inductive transients, with a special emphasis on graphical interpretation; simplified treatment of first-order circuits; simplified treatment of the Laplace transform and its application to higher-order circuits; transfer function analysis and pole-zero concepts; sinusoidal steady-state analysis and its relationship to transient analysis; frequency response analysis; fourier series analysis and Fourier transforms; and introduction to discrete-time systems, including difference equations and the z-transform. New features include PSPICE examples for most chapters, and a new appendix providing PSPICE fundamentals; and MATLAB examples for most chapters, along with introductory material on MATLAB.
