Hello everybody. Due to my current job, over the last months I have been
finding myself working more and more often with -relatively simple-
electronic circuits, like amplifiers or filters. While I have a reasonable
understanding of those circuits in practical terms (capacitor here,
resistor there, we have a low-pass, the 3dB point is here...), I get
completely lost when people starts talking in terms of transfer functions
(that is, poles, zeros... the laplace transform domain). I have a
scientific formation, so I have a basic familiarity with the laplace
transform (or at least I had it over ten years ago, in college, so
refreshing my memory should be easy). However, I was never introduced to
its applications in electronics or any other practical field, for that
matter.
What I would like is a few recommendations of books that could give me a
basic understanding of these topics when applied to electronics, so that
when somebody says "we stabilize this circuit by adding a pole here" I
understand what he is saying. I have the mathematical background to
understand things in terms of differential equations, complex variables...
I just need a good source to learn these things from!
Thanks.
