Preface

This book on troubleshooting analog circuits is intended for the hobbyist, student, educator, or engineer. Because the subject is more into debugging or improving circuits, the book does not require the reader to have an engineering background.

Students who take electronics classes at the technician or engineering level may find this book useful. Some chapters will include basic electronics theory (with some high school algebra). However, we will not be looking for exact calculations when troubleshooting. Instead, approximations will be presented.

Hobbyists who read this book will not only learn troubleshooting techniques. They will also gain insight into why some circuits perform badly. Suggested circuit modifications will be offered to improve the performance of these types of circuits.
