Reliability Engineering for Electronic Design emphasizes a pragmatic approach to its topic rather than a strictly theoretical, vigorous mathematical presentation. A unique, single-source reference, it addresses all the most current, viable tools and methods for practical reliability enhancement.
This book clearly explains the "whys" and "hows" of accomplishing specific reliability-oriented tasks both during the initial design effort and during subsequent iterations of design.

Robust control systems are designed to operate regardless of conditions within the system or its external environment. This is the first text to treat robust controls for uncertain systems, e.g. robotics. Examines existing experimental results in literature with examples and applications designed to illustrate design differences in control systems and attainable performance.

Updated and extended, this new edition provides a detailed analysis of various systems, demonstrating how the components interact with each other and their environment. It covers the techniques of orbital mechanics, radio wave propagation design of communication links and earth stations.

The monograph deals with structural and electronic properties of semiconductor surfaces, interfaces. Introduces aspects of space-charge layers, of clean-surface and adatom-induced surfaces state and interface state.

Provides an introduction to the basic principles and operational characteristics of semiconductor sensors.
Covers the classification and defines the basic terminology of sensors as well as addresses integrated sensors and fabrication

The only current text that specifically addresses the essential area of semiconductor processing, more importantly embraces electrical, optical, chemical, and physical techniques within one volume. The second edition is a thorough updating and includes a new chapter (Reliability and Probe Microscopy), many problems, revised figures and updated references.

This is a practical, broad-based survey of the concepts and techniques of signal processing that will help readers develop general skills and apply specific solutions in communication technology. Every engineer who must keep abreast of progress will appreciate its technical appraisal of the latest progress, as well as its authoritative analysis technology choices.

This book offers a thorough, accessible examination of signaling in fixed, mobile, and intelligent telecommunication networks. Provides an overview of both Channel-Associated Signaling (CAS) and Common-Channel Signaling (CCS), and ISDN networks.

This book provides environmental technicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to assist a site characterization project planner in the sampling and monitoring process. The technician will learn how interpret lab reports, including the validation of quality control data, prepare samples for transport to the laboratory, prepare to go onsite for a sampling event, document field activities and much more.

Applications oriented, it contains all the pertinent and comprehensive information necessary to meet the growing demands placed upon solid-state power conversion equipment. These demands include improved reliability, increased efficiency, higher packing density, improved performance plus meeting safety and EMC regulations. Features a thorough assessment of basic electrical and magnetic aspects of power conversion as well as thermal protection, radiation and reliability considerations. Stresses semiconductor and magnetic components and gives an analysis of diverse topologies.

An acknowledged expert in this area discusses interference problems from a physics perspective in terms of field theory. Each chapter describes specific interference problems and the appendix contains 15 cases and their solutions.

A new edition of the electrical power industry's classic reference.

This classic reference is the most comprehensive and useful source available on the generation, treatment, and disposal of all significant industrial and hazardous wastes. Focused on need-to-know information, common pitfalls, and practical solutions to all kinds of problems, Strategies of Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management is an answer source unlike any other. experiments; nonparametric statistics; and statistical quality control.

This book discusses the theory and potential applications of high and low temperature superconductors in such fields as radio astronomical systems, laser radars, microwave and millimeter wave missile receivers, satellite communications systems, high resolution medical equipment, diode pumped solid state lasers, IR detectors and sensors, remote sensing devices, solid state microwave components, and CW diode lasers.
