This concise text for a one-semester, graduate-level course in passive and active filters develops the fundamental principles of active and passive network synthesis as related to practical design considerations. Drawing an excellent balance between theoretical development and examples of modern applications, it covers fundamentals of network synthesis, filter approximation and frequency transformations, passive filter synthesis, design of resistively terminated networks, active filter synthesis, sensitivity, the active biquad, realization of active two-port networks, design of broadband...

Every engineering professional needs a practical, convenient mathematics resource, without extensive theory and proofs. Mathematics for Circuits and Filters stresses the fundamental theory behind professional applications, making an excellent, flexible resource that enables easy access to the information needed to deal with circuits and filters.
The sections feature frequent examples and illustrations, reinforcing the basic theory. The examples also demonstrate applications of the concepts. References at the end of each section are drawn from not only traditional sources, but from...

Earthquakes are nearly unique among natural phenomena - they affect virtually everything within a region, from massive buildings and bridges, down to the furnishings within a home. Successful earthquake engineering therefore requires a broad background in subjects, ranging from the geologic causes and effects of earthquakes to understanding the impact of these effects on foundations, buildings, structures, the infrastructure, and even their social and economic impact.
The Earthquake Engineering Handbook is a comprehensive resource that covers the spectrum of topics relevant to designing...

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative resource, the editors have incorporated into this edition the many changes in techniques, tools, and materials that over the last seven years have found their way into civil engineering research and practice.
The Civil Engineering Handbook, Second Edition is more comprehensive than ever. You'll find new, updated, and expanded coverage in every section. In fact, more than 1/3 of the handbook is new or substantially...

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering, encapsulating the theoretical, practical, and computational aspects of the field. The authors address a myriad of topics, covering both traditional and innovative approaches to analysis, design, and rehabilitation.
The second edition has been expanded and reorganized to be more informative and cohesive. It also follows the developments that have emerged in the field since the previous edition, such as advanced...

Timing, memory, power dissipation, testing, and testability are all crucial elements of VLSI circuit design. In this volume culled from the popular VLSI Handbook, experts from around the world provide in-depth discussions on these and related topics. Stacked gate, embedded, and flash memory all receive detailed treatment, including their power consumption and recent developments in low-power memories. Reflecting the rapid development and importance of systems-on-a-chip (SOCs), an entire chapter is devoted to application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Design-related topics include...

As their name implies, VLSI systems involve the integration of various component systems. While all of these components systems are rooted in semiconductor manufacturing, they involve a broad range of technologies. This volume of the Principles and Applications of Engineering series examines the technologies associated with VLSI systems, including VLSI processes, semiconductor technology, micromachining, microelectronics packaging, compound semiconductor digital ICs, and multichip modules. Highlights include discussions on relatively recent innovations and progress in areas such as SiGE, SiC,...
