Electronic Components, Tubes and Transistors deals with the practical aspect of electron tubes and semiconductors. This book aims to bridge the gap between fundamental measurement theory of resistance, capacitance, and inductance and the practical application of electronic components in equipment. Organized into six chapters, this book begins with an overview of the characteristics of the individual types of resistor. This text then explains the main characteristics of the different classes of capacitor. Other chapters consider the stability of inductance under all operating conditions as well as the high ratio of inductive reactance to effective loss resistance at the required operating frequency. This book discusses as well the practical aspects of electromagnetic devices. The final chapter deals with the junction, or the region of transition between the semiconductor materials of different electrical properties, which plays a significant part in the conductivity, voltage breakdown, and general characteristics of the device. This book is a valuable resource for electrical engineers.

In dem vorliegenden Lehrbuch wird zunächst Wissen über das grundsätzliche Verhalten der verschiedensten Bauelemente integrierter Schaltungen vermittelt. Erst dann werden die wesentlichen Schaltungstechniken für den Entwurf von digitalen und analogen CMOS- und BICMOS-Schaltungen vorgestellt. Dem Autor gelingt es schlüssig, den weiten Bogen von den Grundlagen der Physik bis zu tatsächlichen Anwendungen und der Produktion von Halbleiterschaltungen zu spannen und so einen umfassenden Überblick über den Designprozess in der Mikroelektronik zu geben.

Properties and Applications of Transistors focuses on the progress in the applications of transistors, including conductivity, frequencies, valves, and transistor noise. The book first offers information on the physical principles of the transistor and general discussion of linear two-ports. Topics include conductivity of semiconductors, junction transistor, other types of transistors, relations between current and voltage in a linear two-port, relations between the different sets of parameters representing a two-port, and elements of matrix algebra. The text then examines transistor characteristics, including small-signal characteristics at medium frequencies; measurement of the elements of the equivalent circuit; and analogies between transistors and valves. The publication ponders on the transistor as a linear amplifier and bias circuits. Concerns include drift of the working point, calculation of the stability factor, tandem amplifiers, stabilization by compensation of the saturation current, neutralization of a transistor, and measurement of power gain. The manuscript also reviews transistor noise, as well as normal noise in a transistor, comparison with valves, and transistor abnormal noise at low frequencies. The text is a dependable source of data for readers and engineers interested in the properties and applications of transistors.

Electronic Components, Tubes and Transistors is intended to bridge the gap between the basic measurement theory of resistance, capacitance, and inductance and the practical application of electronic components in equipments. The more practical or usage aspect of electron tubes and semiconductors is given emphasis over theory. The essential characteristics of each main type of component, tube, and transistor are summarized. This book is comprised of six chapters and begins with a discussion on the essential characteristics in terms of the parameters usually required in choosing a resistor, including size, temperature, linearity, and tolerances. The next chapter focuses on the electrical properties of fixed and variable capacitors such as impregnated-paper capacitors, metallized paper capacitors, and mica-dielectric capacitors. Subsequent chapters deal with magnetic materials and devices; electromagnetic components such as relays and switches; electron tubes and devices; and transistors and semiconductors. This monograph will be a valuable resource for students in choosing the right component and device for a particular application.

Properties and Applications of Transistors focuses on the evolution of transistors as one of the essential elements of modern electronics. The book first provides information on the physical principles of transistors, including conductivity of semiconductors, junction transistors, and transistor technology. The text also looks at the general discussion of linear two-ports.
