Product Description
by John R. Hackworth (Author), William D. Stanley (Author)
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the popular circuit analysis program Multisim, along with a sufficient amount of underlying theory to constitute a complete study of a relevant modern approach to circuit analysis. The book begins with the process required for obtaining parts and constructing a circuit model. Two chapters are then devoted to DC Circuit Analysis including analysis at a fixed operating point followed by the process of sweeping a DC variable. Several chapters are then devoted to Transient Analysis ranging from the simplest single-element forms to more complex transient situations. The treatment then moves to Frequency Response Analysis and Steady-State AC Analysis at a single frequency. Fourier Analysis is covered followed by Pole-Zero Analysis. Finally, Sensitivity Analysis, Worst-Case analysis, Monte Carlo Analysis, and Temperature Sweep Analysis are covered. The underlying theory is covered as a supplement to each of the preceding topics. Numerous examples are provided. Circuit diagrams and Multisim generated curves each occupy a full page providing a convenient way to display the results in a presentation form.
Author Biography
William D. Stanley is an Eminent Professor Emeritus at Old Dominion University and was a recipient of the State Council in Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award. He is the sole author or first author of more than 20 textbooks, including some that made it to the fourth or fifth edition. He received the B. S. degree at the University of South Carolina and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at North Carolina State University. All degrees are in Electrical Engineering. Dr. Stanley is a Registered Professional Engineer Emeritus in Virginia and he is a Senior Member of the IEEE and ASEE. John Hackworth is an Adjunct Associate Professor Emeritus and former director of the Electrical Engineering Technology program at Old Dominion University. He holds a B. S. Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology and a Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering, both from Old Dominion University. Prior to joining the Old Dominion University faculty, John had approximately 20 years of industrial experience in test engineering and plant automation with General Electric Company. He is the co-author of two textbooks which are currently in use by several electrical engineering technology programs at universities within the U.S.
