Electronics & Communication Engineering (EC) is one of the most popular branches of GATE.
EC involves designing, researching, developing, and testing crucial electronic equipment used in various systems. It deals with basic electronics, analog transmission, digital and analog communication, analog integrated circuits, microprocessors, solid-state devices, microwave engineering, satellite communication, antennae, and wave progression.
To study the aforementioned and other crucial topics of EC in detail, it is essential to have the best books of Electronics & Communication Engineering during the GATE exam preparation. Moreover, there’s tough competition in the EC exam. However, you need not worry. PrepLadder has got you covered.
In this article, we will provide you with a list of recommended books for EC preparation.
