Books in the Textbooks in Electrical and Electronic Engineering series

This book is a concise introduction to electromagnetic fields for students on degree and diploma courses. Physical processes and their descriptions are elucidated in words rather than mathematical symbols. Only simple differentiation, integration, and a little trigonometry are required. For this new edition there are new sections on electromechanics and high-frequency phenomena.

Intended for electrical and electronic engineers, this book provides a treatment of the materials used in electrical and electronic engineering, including conductors, electronic and functional materials and insulators, their manufacture and their application.

Analogue to digital and digital to analogue converters are essential interfaces between computers and the outside world. This work surveys progress and gives an account of the working principles, describing the architectures of integrated converters and their accuracy and speed.

A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust and it must be predictive anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct or choose such models and how to solve them numerically. These are important tasks in practical engineering.

Provides a foundation in the field of error control codes, leading the student step by step through this complex topic, beginning with single parity code checks and repetition codes. Throughout, there are many examples and complex mathematical proofs are omitted to keep the text concise.

Instrumentation (the choice and use of sensors and the processing of signals from them) is a subject of importance to engineering, science, and medicine. This is a concise text covering data acquisition and analysis in an integrated fashion.
