0849321778 pdf The purpose of The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 3rd Edition is to provide a ready reference for the practicing engineer in industry, government, and academia, as well as aid students of engineering. Combined, they constitute the most comprehensive, authoritative resource available.Providing the basic information needed for a thorough understanding of each area, this Third Edition comprises the following six volumes:Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image Processing Electronics, Power Electronics, Optoelectronics, Microwaves, Electromagnetics, and RadarSensors, Nanoscience, Biomedical Engineering, and InstrumentsBroadcasting and Optical Communication Technology Computers, Software Engineering, and Digital DevicesSystems, Controls, Embedded Systems, Energy, and MachinesEncompassing the work of the world's foremost experts in their respective specialties, The Electrical Engineering Handbook, Third Edition remains the most convenient, reliable source of information available. This edition features the latest information, the broadest scope of coverage, and new material on nanotechnologies, fuel cells, embedded systems, and biometrics. The engineering community has relied on the Handbook for more than twelve years, and it will continue to be a platform to launch the next wave of advancements.Each volume is edited by Richard C. Dorf, and is a comprehensive format that encompasses the many aspects of electrical engineering with articles from internationally recognized contributors. The goal is to provide the most up-to-date information in the classical fields of circuits, signal processing, electronics, electromagnetic fields, energy devices, systems, and electrical effects and devices, while covering the emerging fields of communications, Nanotechnology, biometrics, digital devices, computer engineering, systems, and biomedical engineering. In addition, the final section provides a complete compendium of information regarding physical, chemical, and materials data, as well as widely inclusive information on mathematics. Many articles from theses six volumes have been completely revised or updated to fit the needs of today, and many new chapters have been added. Two indexes have been compiled for each volume to provide multiple means of accessing information: the subject index and index of contributing authors. The subject index can also be used to locate key definitions. The page on which the definition appears for each key (defining) term is clearly identified in the subject index.The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 3rd Edition is designed to provide answers to most inquiries and direct the inquirer to further sources and references. It is likely that this handbook will be referred to often and that informational requirements will be satisfied effectively.
