1. Introduction to Analog Circuits and Network Theory
Analog circuit theory focuses on continuous signals processed through passive and active components. Key theorems and frequency-domain analysis play crucial roles in simplifying circuit analysis and design, while practical applications include voltage dividers and filters. Understanding these concepts underpins the operation and analysis of real-world analog systems.
