Thicker than a Manhattan phone book, this reference provides engineers and technicians with a convenient resource for theory and applications pertinent to design, production, installation, operation, and maintenance of electronic devices and systems. The chapters move in sequence through the topics of basic theory, materials, components, circuits, and applications; and coverage includes reliability, safety, and engineering management. Each chapter concludes with a list of terms and their definitions, an annotated list of references, and list of sources for further information. A glossary, conversion factors, general mathematical tables, and list of abbreviations and acronyms are provided. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
During the ten years since the appearance of the groundbreaking, bestselling first edition of
The Electronics Handbook, the field has grown and changed tremendously. With a focus on fundamental theory and practical applications, the first edition guided novice and veteran engineers along the cutting edge in the design, production, installation, operation, and maintenance of electronic devices and systems. Completely updated and expanded to reflect recent advances, this second edition continues the tradition.
The Electronics Handbook, Second Edition provides a comprehensive reference to the key concepts, models, and equations necessary to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of complex electrical devices, circuits, instruments, and systems. With 23 sections that encompass the entire electronics field, from classical devices and circuits to emerging technologies and applications, The Electronics Handbook, Second Edition not only covers the engineering aspects, but also includes sections on reliability, safety, and engineering management.
The book features an individual table of contents at the beginning of each chapter, which enables engineers from industry, government, and academia to navigate easily to the vital information they need. This is truly the most comprehensive, easy-to-use reference on electronics available.
