To obtain the full value from instrumentation, users require familiarity with a number of basic concepts and an understanding of how those building blocks relate to one another. In this book, Nihal Kularatna provides an introduction to the main families of instruments for students and professionals who have to carry out practical work in electronics and measurement. For each family he covers internal design, use and applications, highlighting their advantages and limitations from a practical app...

Understanding semiconductor devices, as the building blocks of electronic circuits, is clearly of fundamental importance. In response to this challenge, this text, suitable for an advanced undergraduate or early graduate level course, is written to achieve the following goals: 1.)To meet the students' need to understand with: a)intuitive explanations of the underlying scientific concepts, b)explained fundamental equations, as opposed to using mathematics to explain physical phenomena, c)explaine...

Circuit Designers, Sub-systems Integrated Designers, Consumer Product Designers and Market Planners ISSCC is the foremost global forum for presentation of advances in solid-state circuits. Since the Information Age continues to be characterized by an unquenchable thirst for bandwidth, the 1999 conference theme was selected as High-Bandwidth System."

Understanding the Properties of Matter: 2nd Edition takes a unique phenomenological approach to the presentation of matter, materials, and solid-state physics. After an overview of basic ideas and a reminder of the importance of measurement, the author considers in turn gases, solids, liquids, and phase changes. For each topic, the focus is on "what happens." After a preliminary examination of data on the properties of matter, the author raises, then addresses a series of questions concerning th...

New techniques and technologies for sensors are developing fast and being applied in a wide range of fields for measurement and instrumentation, both for research and commercial purposes. This book aims to provide advanced students and practising engineers with a selective tour of highlights in the topical field of sensors for measurement. The authors provide descriptions of the operation, characteristics and applications of the sensors on which they work, together with recent advances and prosp...

Explaining how HTS is able to explore the synthesis freedom provided at high-level to derive an inherently testable architecture at low or even no overhead, this text provides an introduction to HTS and helps develop an understanding of this emerging technology by presenting a background of HTS terms, operation scheduling and resource allocation algorithms. The book also covers various HTS techniques for scan and built-in self-test methodologies, register-transfer level test synthesis, examples...

Contains difficult-to-acquire design information. Cellular telephones, satellite communications and radar systems are adding to the increasing demand for radio frequency circuit design principles. Digitally-oriented graduates are able to update essential RF skills with this book.

It provides a comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts of the subject, which will be useful to undergraduate and polytechnic students as well as practising engineers. The book begins with basic solid state topics such as electron dynamics, growth and crystal properties of semiconductors, energy bands, and excess carriers in semiconductors, and then moves on to the study of p-n junctions, bipolar junction transistors, and field effect transistors. This is followed by an analysis of spec...

This companion to Fundamentals of Solid-State Electronics provides a helpful summary of the main text for students and lecturers alike. The clear typeface, large font, and point form layout, are designed to produce viewgraphs for lectures and to provide ample margins for study notes.This Study Guide comes complete with a detailed description of two one-semester solid-state electronics core courses, taught to about 80-100 sophomore-junior students each time, four years apart. It links the content...

Operation end Modeling of the MOS Transistor, 2/e carefully leads from physical principles to relevant working models of the MOS Transistors device. Models range from the very simple to sophisticated with the connections between models of successive levels clearly identified. Intuitive understanding is provided through extensive discussions.
