"...throughout the text, Gershenfeld retains much of the conversational tone and spontaneity of a lecture. At its best, this makes for enjoyable reading, with interesting tidbits and asides that enliven the discussions....Gershenfeld's book will be valuable for physical scientists looking for an enjoyable introduction to the information...
This book describes the design of resilient VLSI circuits. VLSI design has become more challenging recently, due to the detrimental effects of radiation particle strikes and processing variations. This book presents algorithms to analyze the effects of these issues on the electrical behavior of VLSI circuits and circuit design techniques to...

My interest in oscillators started many years ago when I was an undergraduate
student and one of the laboratory experiments was the design of a Colpitts oscillator.
It was amazing to see how a sinusoidal signal appeared when the power supply
was turned on. What an interesting way of controlling the motion of electrons in
the circuit!...
A few weeks ago, I found myself groping for some sorely needed inspiration. I was even questioning the very need for a book on this particular subject. So despite spending five years in the general vicinity of the legend behind it, I fi nally went and bought myself the “other” book—Troubleshooting Analog Circuits by Robert Pease....
Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is a promising switching architecture to support huge bandwidth demand in optical backbone networks that useWavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. Due to its special features which combine the merits of optical circuit switching and packet switching, it can support high-speedtransmission with fine...

Formula One racing is the pinnacle of motor racing around the world. These days, the sport is a truly global circus. At almost every race on the calendar, more than 120,000 spectators cram into the grandstands and spectator banking, all vying for a view of the millionaire superstar drivers. At the same time, in 150 countries worldwide, more than...
This textbook explains the fundamentals of electric circuits and uses the transfer function as a tool to analyze circuits, systems, and filters. The author avoids the Fourier transform and three phase circuits, since these topics are often not taught in circuits courses. General transfer functions for low pass, high pass, band pass...
Up-to-date coverage of the analysis and applications of coplanar waveguides to microwave circuits and antennas
The unique feature of coplanar waveguides, as opposed to more conventional waveguides, is their uniplanar construction, in which all of the conductors are aligned on the same side of the substrate. This feature simplifies...
