In this post, we will see the book Basic Electronics by I. Zherebtsov.
About the book
The subject-matter of the book covers a wide range of material specific to electronics – from the basic principles underlying it to sophisticated devices employed in a multitude of applications. Among other things, there is a fairly detailed discussion of semiconductor materials and devices, electron tubes, photocells, optoelectronic devices, and integrated circuits. The text is liberally illustrated and includes a discussion of reliability and testing. The book has been conceived as an aid in the study of electronics by college students, those relying on self-education, and hobbyists.
Docent Ivan P. Zherebtsov, Cand. (Pedagog. Sc.) taught electrical engineering and radio engineering at secondary educational establishments since 1928, has been lecturing on these subjects at colleges since 1946. Is a leading Soviet authority in the field of telecommunications. Has penned over 40 books and booklets many of which have been translated into foreign languages or published outside the Soviet Union. The most important of them are Radio Engineering (five editions), Basic Electronics (four editions). Electric and Magnetic Circuits (two editions), An Introduction to UHF-SHT Radio Engineering (three editions). Honorary member of the A. S. Popov Scientific and Technical Society on Radio, Electronics, and Communications.
First published 1988 by Mir Publishers, Revised from the 1985 Russian edition
Translated from the Russian by Boris V. Kuznetsov
