Monte Carlo Methods for Electromagnetics


Written by one of the foremost researchers in the field, this book provides a solid understanding of Monte Carlo methods and their applications in electromagnetic computation. Including much of his own work, the author brings together essential information from several different publications. He presents Monte Carlo methods in a systematic way, providing solutions to Maxwell’s, Laplace’s, and Poisson’s equations using the finite difference method, Exodus method, and more. Supplying MATLAB® code for many examples, the text includes end-of-chapter problems and examples to highlight the application of Monte Carlo techniques in electromagnetics.

Advanced FPGA Design: Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization


This book provides the advanced issues of FPGA design as the underlying theme of the work. In practice, an engineer typically needs to be mentored for several years before these principles are appropriately utilized. The topics that will be discussed in this book are essential to designing FPGA's beyond moderate complexity. The goal of the book is to present practical design techniques that are otherwise only available through mentorship and real-world experience.
From the Back Cover
A practical FPGA reference that's like an on-call mentor for engineers and computer scientists
Addressing advanced issues of FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) design and implementation, Advanced FPGA Design: Architecture, Implementation, and Optimization accelerates the learning process for engineers and computer scientists. With an emphasis on real-world design and a logical, practical approach, it walks readers through specific challenges and significantly reduces the learning curve. Designed to enhance and supplement hands-on experience, this real-world reference includes:
* Waveform diagrams and circuit diagrams illustrating each topic

* Examples that illustrate typical problems in Verilog

* Case studies that demonstrate real-world applications

* Chapter-end summaries that reiterate key points
Ideal for engineers and computer scientists who want to take their FPGA skills to the next level and for use as a hands-on reference, this is also an excellent textbook for senior or graduate-level students in electrical engineering or computer science.
Summary: Great FPGA Reference Book

Rating: 5
This is a great reference book for any level FPGA designer. This book skips past the basics unlike most books on FPGA design and jumps right into advanced topics that practical FPGA designers need to be aware of.
Plenty of discussion on the trade offs that must be faced in FPGA design based on you desired optimization target (speed, size, & power) and discussion of methods to achieve that goal. Lots of practical example code is used to illustrate each topic.
Discussion of simulation techniques and coverage which is becoming a key factor in verifying HDL based designs.
This book contains several topics that I have been waiting to see discussed well in a textbook including floorplanning and the pitfall of using asynchronous resets.
Besides HDL design techniques, the author discusses the PCB level design methodologies that must be used when designing an FPGA into a system. This disscussion is a great complement to this already fine book.
Summary: The real design warriors guide

Rating: 5
Finally! A book that actually talks about advanced design techniques instead of giving a historical overview of FPGA design.
I have to admit that I didn't read this book cover to cover. Rather, I use it for reference as needed. It's starting to get that same tabbed look that my other reference books have.
Summary: Excellent coverage of FPGA design

Rating: 5
I felt the author was well versed in real-world FPGA design. This book doesn't discuss any of the basics, but does an excellent job in explaining topics such as architecting for speed, synthesis, and place and route optimization, etc. This is the most useful FPGA book that I've read.
Summary: Very pleased with book

Rating: 5
I found the book to be quite helpful. I liked the presentation of practical examples. I would recommend this book any serious FPGA designer.
Summary: From the author

Rating: 5
For your convenience, I am publishing errata on my website: [...]
Background on the book:
After having been exposed to a wide variety of designs in a wide range of industries, I began developing my own arsenal of techniques and heuristics from the combined knowledge of these experiences. When mentoring new FPGA design engineers, I draw my suggestions and recommendations from this experience. Up until now, many of these recommendations have referenced specific white papers and application notes (appnotes) that discuss specific practical aspects of FPGA design. The purpose of this book is to condense years of experience spread across numerous companies and teams of engineers, as well as much of the wisdom gathered from technology-specific white papers and appnotes, into a single book that can be used to refine a designer's knowledge and aid in becoming an advanced FPGA designer.
There are a number of books on FPGA design, but few of these truly address advanced real-world topics in detail. This book attempts to cut out the fat of unnecessary theory, speculation on future technologies, and the details of outdated technologies. It is written in a terse, concise format that addresses the various topics without wasting the reader's time. Many sections in this book assume that certain fundamentals are understood, and for the sake of brevity, background information and/or theoretical frameworks are not always covered in detail. Instead, this book covers in-depth topics that have been encountered in real-world designs. In some ways, this book replaces a limited amount of industry experience and access to an experienced mentor and will hopefully prevent the reader from learning a few things the hard way. It is the advanced, practical approach that makes this book unique.
One thing to note about this book is that it will not flow from cover to cover like a novel. For a set of advanced topics that are not intrinsically tied to one another, this type of flow is impossible without blatantly filling it with fluff. Instead, to organize this book, I have ordered the chapters in such a way that they follow a typical design flow. The first chapters discuss architecture, then simulation, then synthesis, then floorplanning, and so on. This is illustrated in the Flowchart of Contents provided at the beginning of the book. To provide accessibility for future reference, the chapters are listed side-by-side with the relevant block in the flow diagram. The remaining chapters in this book are heavy with examples. For brevity, I have selected Verilog as the default HDL (Hardware Description Language). Xilinx as the default FPGA vendor, and Synplicity as the default synthesis and floorplanning tool. Most of the topics covered in this book can easily be mapped to VHDL, Altera, Mentor Graphics, and so forth, but to include all of these for completeness would only serve to cloud the important points. Even if the reader of this book uses these other technologies, this book will still deliver its value. If you have any feedback, good or bad, feel free to email me at the address listed in the preface.

Optical WDM Networks


Optical WDM Networks

Publisher: Springer Pages: 956 2006-01-13 ISBN 0387290559 PDF 44 MB


Research and development on optical wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks have matured considerably. While optics and electronics should be used appropriately for transmission and switching hardware, note that "intelligence'' in any network comes from "software,'' for network control, management, signaling, traffic engineering, network planning, etc.The role of software in creating powerful network architectures for optical WDM networks is emphasized.

Optical WDM Networks is a textbook for graduate level courses. Its focus is on the networking aspects of optical networking, but it also includes coverage of physical layers in optical networks. The author introduces WDM and its enabling technologies and discusses WDM local, access, metro, and long-haul network architectures. Each chapter is self-contained, has problems at the end of each chapter, and the material is organized for self study as well as classroom use. The material is the most recent and timely in capturing the state-of-the-art in the fast-moving field of optical WDM networking.

Walter J. Goralski: Sonet/SDH Third Edition


Sonet/SDH Third Edition

McGraw-Hill/OsborneMedia 2002-10-04 ISBN 0072225246 PDF Pages 687 4.6 MB


Get comprehensive coverage of fiber optics, next generation SONET architecture, deployment, equipment, and services with this practical guide. Including details on SDH, advanced payload pointers, ring configuration, customer and carrier advantages, and more, this book thoroughly explains this emerging method of high speed data transmission.

This is a response to Mr. Kessler's review. First, he needs to state that he has a biased interest in his review, that he used to work with Walter at Hill & Associates before he went to work for Juniper. Second, I was the reviewer for the first edition of the book and Walter had a lot of misconceptions about SONET in the original draft. So much so that my name is menitioned in the acknoweldgements in the first edition. Since I worked as a manager dealing with SONET at both AT&T as well as Cisco Systems,the book leaves a lot to be desired. He is very verbose in his writing style and has never worked in the field to give the reader a real understanding of the issues that come with understanding SONET - both services and equipment. There are other books in the field that do a better job - Andy Reid is a good one from the technical side for example - but this author needs to change his writing style and tone it down for this book to be considered for readership seriously.

High Voltage Engineering


C.L. Wadhwa., “High Voltage Engineering”

New Age International 2007 ISBN: 8122418597, 812242323X 312 pages PDF 3,7 MB


“High Voltage Engineering” has been written for the undergraduate students in ElectricalEngineering of Indian and foreign Universities as well as the practising electrical engineers.

The author developed interest in the field of High Voltage Engineering when he was astudent at the Govt. Engineering College, Jabalpur. It used to be thrilling to observe largemetal spheres flashing over, corona phenomenon on a wire placed along the axis of acylinder and then recording the corona loss, controlling the wave shapes of impulse voltages etc.

The author has taught the subject at the Delhi College of Engineering for quite a numberof years and while preparing lecture notes he referred to some of the books and journalsand some literature from the internationally famed manufacturers of High Voltageequipments e.g. Haefely, Tettex etc. The lecture notes so prepared, thus, have a touch ofboth the class room requirements and a practising engineer’s requirements.In this edition, zeroth chapter on Electric Stress estimation and c ontrol has been addedwhere in different methods viz. finite difference, finite element, charge simmulation methodand surface charge simulation methods have been discussed per estimation of metricstresses in complex dielectric media and electrode configuration. a brief view of optimisationof electrode configuration is also given in this chapter.

Chapter 1 deals with the breakdown of gases, liquids, and solid materials. Even though ithas not been possible to explain the physical phenomenon associated with breakdown ofthe materials, with accuracy and precisiveness, an attempt has been made to bring outsome of the theories advocated by researchers in this field in a simple lucid and organisedway.

Chapters 2 and 3 discuss the generation of high d.c. and a.c. voltages and high impulsevoltages and currents. Some of the latest circuits have been discussed and rigorous mathematicaltreatment of the circuit has been given to make the subject more interesting andto make the student understand the subject better.Measurement of transient voltage and currents and high voltage and current require differentskills and equipment as compared with common a.c. or d.c. voltages we normallycome across.

Chapter 4 discusses various techniques and circuits for measurement of suchquantities.

Chapter 5 deals into high voltage testing of electrical equipments like insulators, cables,transformers, circuit breakers etc.The measurements using high voltage Schering bridge, transformer ratio arm bridge andpartial discharges yield information regarding the life expectancy and the long term stabilityor otherwise of the insulating materials. These techniques have been discussed elaboratelyin

Chapter 6. These tests are very important both during design and operation ofthe equipments.Electrical transients last for a very short duration but these play a very important role inthe insulation design of power system.

Chapter 7 takes a view of various types of transientsin power system and suggests classical and more modern statistical methods ofcoordinating the insulation requirements of various equipments of the system and thedevices required for protection of these equipments.In this edition of the book following articles have been added in chapter 1 of the book :

(i) Breakdown in SF6 gas and Vacuum.

(ii) Insulating materials used in power apparatus.

(iii) Application of gases, liquid and solid insulating materials in different power apparatus.A suitable number of problems have been solved to help understand the relevant theory.At the end, a large number of multiple choice questions have been added to help thereader to test himself. An extensive bibliography will help the reader to locate detailedinformation on various topics of his interest.

There are very few High Voltage Laboratories all over the world and the reader may nothave an opportunity to visit such a laboratory. Therefore, a few photoplates have beenadded at suitable locations in the book to give a physical feel of various equipments in awell equipped high voltage laboratory. The author feels that with the inclusion ofphotoplates of high voltage equipments the student as well the practising engineers wouldbe greatly benefited.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to M/s Emile Haefely & Co. Ltd., Switzerland forpermitting inclusion of photoplates in the book which has enhanced the utility of the book.I also wish my express my gratitude to my wife Usha, daughter Meenu and son Sandeepfor their patience and encouragement during the preparation of the book.Any constructive suggestion for the improvement of the book will be gratefully acknowledged.

Generation, transmission, distribution. Of the "big three" components of the electricity infrastructure, distribution typically gets the least attention. Yet, its impact on reliability, quality of service, and society often make distribution the most critical element. Today, deregulation and the emergence of distributed power generation mean it is now more important than ever for utility engineers to have fast access to better information.The Electric Power Distribution Handbook provides that information on the electrical aspects of power distribution systems. It begins with an in-depth look at equipment, applications, and tasks such as choosing transformer connections and sizing and placing capacitors. The focus then shifts to reliability and power quality, reflecting the strong dependence of the reliability of service on distribution systems performance. The author then tackles lightning protection, grounding, and safety, and concludes with a chapter that will help utilities avoid the problems inherent in the introduction of distributed generation.This book is also a comprehensive source for the hard-to-find tables, graphs, methods, and statistics that distribution system engineers need. It includes tips and solutions for solving problems and improving performance, all aimed at delivering the best quality while keeping costs down. In short, the Electric Power Distribution Handbook gives readers the tools they need to understand the science and practices of distribution systems.

Robert C. Baker - Linear Electronics in Control Systems


Robert C. Baker - Linear Electronics in Control Systems

Barks Publications ISBN-10: 0-943876-03-6 1988 Hardcover English DjVu 227 pages


Today's industrial service calls for up-to-date knowledge of electronic technology, including the often-overlooked linear devices, which this book covers clearly and thoroughlyFewer and fewer people these days understand the fundamentals of linear electronics, a technology that is less glamorous than digital electronics but just as vital. "There remain control applications where the linear device is a better answer than attempting to travel the purely digital route," writes Robert C. Baker in the introduction to this book, but "it becomes more difficult year by year to find engineers and technicians who are properly versed in the use of linear devices."

Contributing to the linear device's unglamorous image is the relative difficulty of its application. Digital devices operate in one of only two states -- on or off -- but with linear devices, the range of operating states is infinite.

Linear Electronics in Control Systems provides a broad yet concise look at these important devices. Early chapters introduce the reader to discrete solid-state devices and instruments for measuring their characteristics and performance. The second half of the book shows how linear devices are used in control systems.

Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MatLab


Bassem R. Mahafza"Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB"

CHAPMAN & HALL/CRC, USA ISBN:1584881828 532 pages PDF 6.08 Mb


Description

An introduction to radar systems should ideally be self-contained and hands-on, a combination lacking in most radar texts. The first edition of Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB provided such an approach, and the second edition continues in the same vein. This edition has been updated, expanded, and reorganized to include advances in the field and to be more logical in sequence.

Ideal for graduate study in radar system fundamentals and design or for professional reference, and featuring an abundance of MATLAB programs and code, Radar Systems Analysis and Design Using MATLAB, Second Edition presents the fundamentals and principles of radar along with enough rigorous mathematical derivations to ensure that readers gain a deep understanding. The author has extensively revised chapters on radar cross-section and polarization, matched filter and radar ambiguity function, and radar wave propagation. He has added information on topics such as PRN codes, multipath and refraction, clutter and MTI processing, and high range resolution.

With all MATLAB functions updated to reflect version 7.0 and an expanded set of end-of-chapter problems, readers will find this up-to-date text to be the most complete treatment of radar available, providing the hands-on tools that will enrich their learning.



Radar Design Principles, Second Edition


Radar Design Principles, Second Edition

Publisher: SciTech Publishing Pages: 720 1999-01-01 ISBN 189112109X PDF 30 MB


A true classic in the field, now available once again from SciTech, this widely-respected sourcebook on radar design offers coverage of digital technology, weather radar, microburst detection, and digital correlators. Providing a broad look at modern theory as well as a review of all the developments in practical equipment design and construction in recent years, this resource includes four chapters on equations and detection theory, plus seven on waveforms and signal processing. Other chapters include essential data on radar targets and propagation. Throughout, the emphasis is on radar design to cope with the "total environment," including unwanted reflections from sea, land, precipitation, chaff, thermal noise, and jamming, rather than any single performance goal. The authors also recognize that mapping, weather-sensing, terrain avoidance, altimetry, etc., may be designed for a single-function radar or as modes of a multifunction radar. The last chapter in the book identifies newer, more specialized radar techniques, and describes how to analyze or simulate coherent radars including the limitations and related loss terms.

BluePrint-PCB 1.1.2



BluePrint-PCB 1.1.2

OS: Windows ~158 Mb


BluePrint uses the CAD data to automatically create unlimited views, details, and charts of the PCB and can revise the documentation to reflect new PCB changes in seconds. BluePrint also support far better tools for 2D drafting and dimensioning, text editing, and drawing formatting than found in PCB CAD.

The Challenge

PCB documentation is a critical part of the design chain as it defines the specifications on how an electronic product is to be built. The more detailed the documentation the less likely manufacturing mistakes will occur. It also ensures that repeat builds of the same product are consistent and makes final inspection easier with less chance of unit rejection or shipment delay while waiting for assembly deviations to be approved.

The Solutions

BluePrint is a dynamic new solution, developed in the style of Microsoft Office that quickly creates electronic drawings to drive PCB fabrication and assembly. BluePrint 'knows' it is creating a PCB document and imports PCB CAD data to automatically create and intelligently link PCB Views, details, document notes, external documents, URLs and multi-media content. The result is an electronic document which better articulates the instructions for successful fabrication, assembly and inspection of printed circuit boards and which contains all the data necessary to build, view and archive the final product.

McGraw Hill Higher Education November 1, 2004 ISBN: 0071244824 939 pages PDF 29.75 MB
Fundamentals of Digital Logic With VHDL Design" teaches the basic design techniques for logic circuits. It emphasizes the synthesis of circuits and explains how circuits are implemented in real chips. Fundamental concepts are illustrated by using small examples, which are easy to understand. Then, a modular approach is used to show how larger circuits are designed. VHDL is used to demonstrate how the basic building blocks and larger systems are defined in a hardware description language, producing designs that can be implemented with modern CAD tools.The book emphasizes the concepts that should be covered in an introductory course on logic design, focusing on: Logic functions, gates, and rules of Boolean algebra; Circuit synthesis and optimization techniques; Number representation and arithmetic circuits; Combinational-circuit building blocks, such as multiplexers, decoders, encoders, and code converters; Sequential-circuit building blocks, such as flip-flops, registers, and counters; Design of synchronous sequential circuits; And use of the basic building blocks in designing larger systems.It also includes chapters that deal with important, but more advanced topics: Design of asynchronous sequential circuits; Testing of logic circuits For students who have had no exposure to basic electronics, but are interested in learning a few key concepts, there is a chapter that presents the most basic aspects of electronic implementation of digital circuits. Major changes in the second edition of the book include: new examples to clarify the presentation of fundamental concepts; over 50 new examples of solved problems provided at the end of chapters; NAND and NOR gates now introduced in Chapter 2; more complete discussion of techniques for minimization of logic functions in Chapter 4 (including the tabular method); a new chapter explaining the CAD flow for synthesis of logic circuits; Altera's Quartus II CAD software provided on a CD-ROM; and three appendices that give tutorials on the use of Quartus II software.
