Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 621.381 EAN: 9780750674034 Edition: 1 ISBN: 0750674032 Label: Newnes Manufacturer: Newnes Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 359 Publication Date: May 17, 2002 Publisher: Newnes Studio: Newnes Editorial Review: Product Description: Based on familiar circuit theory and basic physics, this book serves as an invaluable reference for both analog and digital engineers alike. For those who work with analog RF, this book is a must-have resource. With computers and networking equipment of the 21st century running at such high frequencies, it is now crucial for digital designers to understand electromagnetic fields, radiation and transmission lines. This knowledge is necessary for maintaining signal integrity and achieving EMC compliance. Since many digital designers are lacking in analog design skills, let alone electromagnetics, an easy-to-read but informative book on electromagnetic topics should be considered a welcome addition to their professional libraries. Covers topics using conceptual explanations and over 150 lucid figures, in place of complex mathematicsDemystifies antennas, waveguides, and transmission line phenomenaProvides the foundation necessary to thoroughly understand signal integrity issues associated with high-speed digital design Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Really close to a "must have" for the engineering librarySay what you will, but even the EMC/EMI "guru type" person gets confused once in awhile on the complexities of electromagnetics. So that leaves us "little people" in need of a handy, precise and basic-to-advanced "explainer" to get us back on track. I'm fairly seasoned on EMC but I really like this book and carry it with me quite often on trips for handy reference. It certainly provides for the "big picture" while still adding significant depth. Especially for the beginner to intermediate this book ... Read More Rating:  - An easy to read book , so?The author has succeeded in writing an easy to read book. I read through it in two days. But is it useful and worthy keeping? The author covers a lot of ground, even included a cursory introduction to special relativity and quantum electrodynamics which have no relevance to the rest of the book. It gives a relatively painless introduction to various concepts in electromagnetism. But the superficiality makes it a book for the popular audience rather than electrical engineers. The author does have ... Read More Rating: - Nice integration of diverse topicsI'd characterize this book as qualitative rather than quantitative. It provides good verbal descriptions for a wide variety of concepts related to electromagnetics. For me, it tied together a lot of lose ends. This book works pretty well for someone who has a moderate grasp of the electromagnetic fundamentals and wants to go to the next level of understanding without becoming mired in equations -- maybe a sort of heavy duty tutorial for students, recent graduates, and just-plain-curious technically ... Read More Rating: - not suited for an engineerI am dubious that this will be useful to a practising engineer, even though the book is part of the EDN series, ostensibly for design engineers. The level of treatment of electromagnetism is very elementary. Maxwell's equations are mentioned in the text, but are not actually given as formulae. Special relativity is covered, and some equations from it appear. Probably because these do not need the vector notation and the vector calculus that Maxwell's equations are often given in. Quantum mechanics gets ... Read More Rating:  - Very good review and convincing explanationIf you are not an expert in Electromagnetics and would like to get a broad perspective of the field without going into complex mathematics, this book is the right choice for you. All the explanation is clear and convincing. You will not feel like you are reading a book, but in stead listening to an expert in RF engineer speaking to you. In addition, you will find the references given in separate sub-topics very handy. They leads you directly to the right books when further knowledge in a specific area is ... Read More |
