Books in the Professional Engineering series

Photodetection techniques are increasingly necessary for all electronics design work -- and they are not taught in standard engineering curricula. This book provides a practical "rules of thumb" approach to making accurate optical measurements with simple and inexpensive equipment.

Explains the EPON architecture, analyzes its performance, and annotates the standard. This book provides insights into various engineering-critical EPON topics, including: PON enabling technologies; point-to-point emulation; multi-point control protocol; error correction; performance analysis; and, discovery optimizations.

By June 2006 any company selling electronics into the European Union and China will have to convert to lead-free manufacturing processes. This book shows electronics manufacturers how to choose the right Lead-Free processes and make the conversion as efficiently and inexpensively as possible.

Focusing on standards and protocols surrounding video telephony, this book serves as a roadmap through the regulatory maze, as well as a tutorial on various phases of deployment, from video compression through multiplexing and call control. It is aimed at the engineers deploying mobile video services around the globe.

Describes the science and technology of industrial photomask production, including fundamental principles, industrial production flows, and technological evolution and development. This book focuses on industrial applications rather than pure science. It is suitable for engineers developing microelectronic manufacturing processes.

It is difficult to imagine a field of activity where analytical instruments are not required and used. This book helps to learn the principles of operation and maintenance techniques. It provides the information base for understanding the User's Manual and Service Manual for a particular instrument.

Designed as a working reference for professional engineers and technicians, this work covers basic fundamentals and design of electrical transformers, including materials, specifications and standards. Written by a team of BEHL's top power engineers, it details transformer workings from the first principles onwards.
