This is a book about “hacking” electronics. It is not a formal, theory-based book about electronics. Its sole aim is to equip the reader with the skills he or she needs to use electronics to make something, whether it’s starting from scratch, connecting together modules, or adapting existing electronic devices for some new use. You […]

Abstract The lattice structure of crystals is characterized by specific symmetry properties. Translation symmetry yields the 14 Bravais lattices. Rotation, reflection at a mirror plane, and inversion at a point result in the 32 crystallographic point groups. The diffraction of X-rays by a crystal, initiated in 1912 by Max von Laue, represented the first experimental […]

I have been working on radio frequency (RF) solutions for more than 27 years, covering circuit, printed circuit board (PCB), and antenna designs; my entire career has been almost all about wireless technology. I have seen or developed many successful and some less-successful wireless products during my engineering and management careers. Most of the less […]

We live in a world where technology is advancing at an astonishing speed. We have arrived at this point in knowledge, because man always had this curiosity about the things around. At first, it was a matter of survival, but then curiosity turned into discovery, and we have started to unveil the secrets of the […]

In keeping with our focus on space for covers for our book, we have chosen the NASA Voyager spacecraft for the sixth edition. The reason for this is that like any spacecraft there are many circuits that play critical roles in their functionality. The beginning of the Voyager 1 and 2 odyssey began on August […]

Electronics: Principles and Applications, 9e, introduces analog devices, circuits, and systems. It also presents various digital techniques that are now commonly used in what was once considered the sole domain of analog electronics. It is intended for students who have a basic understanding of Ohm’s law; Kirchhoff’s laws; power; schematic diagrams; and basic components such […]

This book picks up where my previous introductory guide, Make: Electronics, left off. Here you will find topics that I did not explore in detail before, and other topics that were not covered at all because I lacked sufficient space. You will also find that I go a little bit further into technicalities, to enable […]

This is a complete electronics course in 128 pages! Author Forrest Mims teaches you the basics, takes you on a tour of analog and digital components, explains how they work, and shows you how they are combines for various applications. Includes circuit assembly tips and 100 electronic circuits and projects you can build and test.

What’s New in the Second Edition All of the text from the first edition of this book has been rewritten, and most of the photographs and schematics have been replaced. Single-bus breadboards are now used throughout (as in Make: More Electronics) to reduce the risk of wiring errors. This change entailed rebuilding the circuits, but […]

How to Have Fun with This Book Everyone uses electronic devices, but most of us don’t really know what goes on inside them. Of course, you may feel that you don’t need to know. If you can drive a car without understanding the workings of an internal combustion engine, presumably you can use an iPod […]

Introduction The fourth edition of this book has been updated to include the latest electrical and electronic devices and troubleshooting methods. It continues to be very suitable for anyone—associate’s, bachelor’s, or master’s degree electrical and electronic engineering or technology students, service technicians, hobbyists, apprentice technicians, trade, industrial, and vocational students—who wants to understand electrical and […]
