[edit] Intrduction
This Wikibook is about analogue electronics. It will begin by examining the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) and the field effect transistor (FET). The two classes of device are used in the vast majority of electronic devices, and form a stepping stone to more complex circuits. We will begin by exampking the BJT and FET as simple amplifiers and switches, and we will move on to more complex circuits after that.
This book relies heavily on results shown in the Semiconductors Wikibook - we will not spend much time in this book re-deriving characteristic equations of the devices. Also required is a knowlege of basic circuit theory, as presented in Circuit Theory.
