Book List from EMC Consultant

Written by   on   with No comments
http://www.hottconsultants.com/book.html


Other Book Recommendations

  • Johnson & Graham, High-Speed Digital Design: A Handbook of Black Magic, Prentice Hall, 1993. My second favorite book!  Lots of book casegood, useful, and practical information.  One of the favorite books with the Signal Integrity crowd.  A must have book!
  • Paul C. R., Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility, 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 2006.  More theoretical.  It is intended as a university text for a course on EMC.  Lots of useful information, especially the chapter on "Crosstalk."
  • Morrison, Grounding and Shielding Techniques, Fourth Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1998.  A classic, since it's first edition in 1967 (the only book available on the subject at the time).  Mostly emphasizes the low frequency susceptibility problem.  The fourth edition is greatly revised and updated to also include information on high frequency design.
  • Perez, Handbook of  Electromagnetic Compatibility, Academic Press, 1995.  A good handbook, each chapter is by a different author.  All of the authors are experts in their field. This is a big book (1100 pages) with a tremendous amount of useful information.
  • Kimmel & Gerke, Electromagnetic Compatibility in Medical Equipment, CRC Press, 1995.  Another good book on EMC design by two very practical and knowledgeable authors.
  • Kraus, J. D. & Marhefka, R. J.,  Antennas, Third Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2002.  Everyone in the EMC business needs to know something about antennas, and this book is one of the best on the subject.  Another big book at almost 900 pages.  John Kraus (deceased) was a professor at Ohio State University, but he was also a radio amateur (W8JK), which means he know the practical side of antennas as well as the theoretical side.  If you are going to have only one antenna book on your bookshelf, this is the one to have.
  • Smith, D. C., High Frequency Measurements and Noise in Electronic Circuits, Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1993.  One of the few good, practical books on high frequency measurements.  There is no other comparable book available.  Our High Frequency Measurement Course is based on this book, and is presented by the author, Doug Smith.
  • Tsaliovich, A., Cable Shielding for Electromagnetic Compatibility, Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1995.  More than you ever care to know about cables and cable shielding.  A good reference book on cables.
  • Hall, Hall, and McCall, High-Speed Digital System Design: A Handbook of Interconnect Theory and Design Practices, John Wiley & Sons, 2000.  If you are interested in Signal Integrity this is the second book you should buy (the Johnson and Graham book is first).  This book starts where the Johnson and Graham book ends.  The two books compliment each other very well.  A good, well written,  practical, down to earth book by three authors from Intel.  The tone of the book is set by the first sentence which reads:  "The speed of light is just too slow."
  • Morrison, R., and Lewis, W. H., Grounding and Shielding in Facilities, John Wiley, 1990.  An excellent book on AC power grounding and the National Electrical Code (NEC) and how they relate to Electromagnetic Compatibility.  This book could have been subtitled, "Noise versus Grounding versus Safety."Note: Warren Lewis also wrote the chapter on Grounding and Bonding in the previously mentioned Handbook of Electromagnetic Compatibility.
  • Johnson & Graham, High-Speed Signal Propagation: Advanced Black Magic, Prentice Hall, 2003. The second Johnson and Graham book.  This is an advanced level text on Signal Integrity, with virtually no overlap with the material in the first book.  A lot of good, hard to find information.  Contains  reprints of a number of articles written by Howard Johnson and previously published in EDN magazine (between 1998 and 2002), as well as material from Howard Johnson's High-Speed Digital design web site (www.sigcon.com).
  • Bogatin, E., Signal Integrity - Simplified, Prentice Hall, 2004. A very well written and easy to read book on Signal Integrity, that also covers a lot of EMC issues. Includes chapters on; The Physical Basis for Resistance, Capacitance, Inductance, and Transmission Lines.  A lot of readers will especially appreciate Appendix B which contains "100 Collected Rules of Thumb to Help Estimate Signal-Integrity Effects."  An excellent book that lives up to its title.
  • Kimmel & Gerke, EDN Design Guide to Electromagnetic Compatibility, Second Edition, published by EDN magazine, 2001.  One hundred pages of down-to-earth practical advice on EMC, without any equations or mathematics, by two authors who work regularly in the EMC trenches.

Useful Links : 1

Everything starts with installing octave
Use this if you have a windows system
http://www.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Octave_for_Windows

Some other links related
http://octave.sourceforge.net/communications/function/eyediagram.html
http://rf.helpingcreate.com/cgi-bin/octave.pl?page_name=examples
http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php


Manual installation instructions for the Octave-forge packages

  1. Extract the complete directories tree from Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20120303.7z to the installation directory (<your_install_dir>) keeping the original directory structure as in the archive (you can use 7zip tool from http://www.7-zip.org/).
  2. In order to update octave_packages database with your installation tree and auto-load most packages (excluding 'ad' and 'windows' which may crash octave when loaded and 'clear all' is executed), launch Octave and execute the following 3 rebuild commands from the octave console:
   pkg rebuild -auto
   pkg rebuild -noauto ad windows
   pkg rebuild -noauto nan % shadows many statistics functions
   pkg rebuild -noauto gsl % shadows some core functions
   pkg rebuild -auto java
