This book is for anyone who is in the business of designing practical amplifiers using BJTs. The amount of detail is impressive especially the various tables of possible values. Having said that, be aware this book goes into great detail on transistor design and so you should have an excellent grasp of the fundamentals of p-n junctions and transistors before you start.
the best for practical design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is one of the only books in my University which I have found to be of any use for design of amplifiers. The details Mr Gerald has given shows that he himself has worked with the problems in amplifier design as he has also given the probable values to use while designing. Example Table 5.5 of the Possibles. After trying for 3 years with unsuccesful design I find this book and my design is complete in a few minutes. Not only does this book give the probable values for good design but with it you can calculate the different parameters like gain, input res., output res., Miller cap., f (alpha). Really cool. This book is really worth it. And lastly the book speaks to you which shows the passion of the author.
A great book on transistor amplifier design

This is a great first book, if you want to learn how to design transistor amplifiers. Great! Well written, easy to read, down to earth, and above all, practical. Describes basic transistor biasing techniques, stabilization techniques, class A and B amplifier design, and much more
