STANDARD BOOKS FOR ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION (GATE & IES)

I have been receiving lot of queries regarding the books to refer for GATE and ESE. Here are the list of books, I personally preferred during my GATE preparations. If you can read these books religiously , I have no doubt you can crack any of the competitive exams.

• Electronic Devices:

Streetman, Banerjee - Solid State Electronic Devices

• Analog Circuits:

Robert Boylestad & Louis Nashelsky - Electronic Devices and Circuit Theory

Sedra and Smith - Microelectronic Circuits

• Network Analysis:

Hayt and Kemmerly - Engineering Circuit Analysis

Hayt and Kemmerly- Problems and solution in Engineering circuits 

• Control system

Katsushiko Ogata - Modern Control Engineering

Norman Nise - Control Systems Engineering (for stability analysis)

Schaum's Outline of Feedback and Control Systems  (bit costly - refer this book for polar and nyquist plots)

• Digital Electronics

Morris Mano - Digital Logic Computer Design

Ronald J Tocci - Digital Systems Principles and Applications

• Signals and Systems

Oppenheim, Willsky - Signals and Systems

Oppenheim, Schafer - Discrete-Time Signal Processing

• Communication Engineering

Simon Haykin - Communication Systems (2nd Edition)

• Electro Magnetic Theory, Transmission Lines, Waveguides and Antennas

Sadiku - Elements of Electromagnetics

Jordan and Balmain - Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems

Harish and Sachidananda - Antennas and Wave Propagation

Apart from above books , also go through previous years question paper.
