The first book to focus on the electromagnetic basis of signalintegrity
The Foundations of Signal Integrity is the first of itskind--a reference that examines the physical foundation ofsystem integrity based on electromagnetic theory derived fromMaxwell's Equations. Drawing upon the cutting-edge researchof Professor Paul Huray's team of industrial engineers and graduatestudents, it develops the physical theory of wave propagation usingmethods of solid state and high-energy physics, mathematics,chemistry, and electrical engineering before addressing itsapplication to modern high-speed systems. Coverage includes:
* All the necessary electromagnetic theory needed for a completeunderstanding of signal integrity
* Techniques for obtaining analytic solutions to Maxwell'sEquations for ideal materials and boundary conditions
* Plane electromagnetic waves
* Plane waves in compound media
* Transmission lines and waveguides
* Ideal models vs. real-world systems
* Complex permittivity of propagating media
* Surface roughness
* Advanced signal integrity
* Signal integrity simulations
* Problem sets for each chapter
With its thorough coverage of this relatively new discipline,the book serves as an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate andjunior graduate students, as well as a resource for practicingengineers in this burgeoning field. At the end of each section, ittypically stimulates the reader with open-ended questions thatmight lead to future theses or dissertation research.
