Now in its sixth edition, Electronics: A Systems Approach provides an outstanding introduction to this fast-moving and important field. Comprehensively revised and updated to cover the latest developments in the world of electronics, the text continues to use Neil Storey’s established and well-respected systems approach. It introduces the basic concepts first before progressing to a more advanced analysis, enabling you to contextualise what a system is designed to achieve before tackling the intricacies of designing or analysing its various components with confidence.

Provides an integrated treatment of analogue and digital electronics, highlighting and exploring the common ground between the two fields.
Contains a comprehensive introduction to basic electrical engineering circuits and components, permitting the book to be used as a stand-alone text for introductory courses in both Electronics and Electrical Engineering.
Throughout the book learning is reinforced by chapter objectives, summaries, worked examples and exercises.

A new section on Single-board Computers, including an overview of devices such as the Raspberry Pi® and the Arduino®.
A new section on Microwave Communication, outlining its characteristics and applications.
A new section on Fibre-optic Communication, which looks at the nature of optical fibres, and how they are used in a range of situations.
Expanded chapters on Sensors and Actuators, including new material on image sensors and the devices used in fibre-optic communications.
An expanded range of End of Chapter Exercises to help readers assess their understanding of the material more effectively.
