Electronics and Circuit Analysis Using MATLAB

MATLAB becomes much more useful when you can put it to work on real engineering problems. In Electronics and Circuit Analysis Using MATLAB, John Okyere Attia moves from the software’s basic tools to applications in circuit analysis and electronics, connecting computation with the systems electrical engineers study and design.

Start with MATLAB, then apply it

The opening chapters introduce MATLAB fundamentals, plotting, and control statements. The book then applies those tools to DC, transient, and AC circuit analysis, network functions, two-port networks, and Fourier analysis. Later chapters turn to diodes, semiconductor physics, operational amplifiers, transistor circuits, and electronic data analysis.

Learn by working through examples

Examples are central to the book’s hands-on approach: readers can follow how MATLAB is used to investigate and solve selected problems, then work through the end-of-chapter exercises. The second edition contains 101 solved examples and 134 problems, giving readers opportunities to test the methods rather than simply read about them.

From circuit behavior to electronic devices

The scope makes this a useful bridge between MATLAB basics and a range of electrical engineering applications. Circuit topics such as transient response and Fourier analysis sit alongside device-focused material on semiconductor physics, diodes, op amps, and transistor circuits. A dedicated chapter on electronic data analysis extends the book’s focus to statistical analysis and curve fitting.

Who may find it useful

Attia identifies students, professional engineers, and technicians among the intended readers. The introductory material can serve readers seeking a practical MATLAB primer, while the later circuit and electronics chapters are aimed particularly at electrical engineering students and engineers who want to apply MATLAB in analysis and design.

For readers who prefer engineering concepts demonstrated through worked computational examples, this second edition offers a structured route from MATLAB fundamentals to circuit and electronics applications.
