4.1 INTRODUCTION
Active devices used in electronic circuits require a dc power supply in order to be properly biased to operate in the required region. The basic source of dc power supply is the battery. But relying on the battery for the dc power is not possible as it would be very expensive and sometimes not even feasible to have batteries of required ...
