I have my students to thank for this book. Regardless of ability, each has had a role to play. The more able students have always helped, through their project work, to develop new ideas and solutions in electronic design. Some have displayed an astonishing instinctive understanding of engineering ideas, and some have been so keen to learn as to make teaching easy and rewarding. There is never enough time to give each individual student the time and help they deserve. So, one has to start writing to make sure that the essential technical information is at least accessible, and hope that students are able to make best use.
