EMI Filter Design Second Edition Revised and Expanded (Electrical and Computer Engineering) by Richard Lee Ozenbaugh [size=120%]EMI Filter Design Second Edition Revised and Expanded (Electrical and Computer Engineering) By Richard Lee Ozenbaugh Publisher: CRC Number Of Pages: 319 Publication Date: 2000-11 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0824789245 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780824789244 Binding: Hardcover Book Description: Offering simple methods of measuring AC and DC power lines, this long-awaited revised and expanded reference describes the selection of cores, capacitors, mechanical shapes, and styles for the timeliest design, construction, and testing of filters. It presents analyses of matrices of various filter types based on close approximations, observation, and trial and error. Supplying simple parameters and techniques for creating manufacturable, repeatable products, the Second Edition provides insights into the cause and elimination of common mode noise in lines and equipment, explores new data on spike, pulse, trapezoid, and quasisquare waves, and reviews the latest high-current filters. Summary: The standard work Rating: 5 This is the standard work on the subject. The author has spent decades as an expert in this area. You can trust his advice. |
Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems, 2nd Edition by Henry Ott [size=120%]Noise Reduction Techniques in Electronic Systems, 2nd Edition By Henry Ott Publisher: Wiley-Interscience Number Of Pages: 448 Publication Date: 1988-03-09 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471850683 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471850687 Binding: Hardcover Book Description: This updated and expanded version of the very successful first edition offers new chapters on controlling the emission from electronic systems, especially digital systems, and on low-cost techniques for providing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for consumer products sold in a competitive market. There is also a new chapter on the susceptibility of electronic systems to electrostatic discharge. There is more material on FCC regulations, digital circuit noise and layout, and digital circuit radiation. Virtually all the material in the first edition has been retained. Contains a new appendix on FCC EMC test procedures. Summary: Couldn't put it down. Rating: 5 I build EEG sensors, and I started reading this book, expecting something like The Art of Electronics, except more detailed and covering only noise techniques. Instead, I got much, much more. The diagrams made *much* more sense than Horowitz and Hill's AOE, and the explanations were clear and consise. I was able to read it cover to cover in a weekend without getting bored from too much detail, and it had many many real measurements of noise in systems that made the information much more quantitative. For instance, instead of saying "in order to get the most noise reduction, you need to use a shielded cable only grounded on one end", he says "a shielded cable grounded on one end has 84dB of attenuation to magnetic noise and much more for electric, while if the shield is grounded at both ends the attenuation is more like 36dB". Those numbers are critical if you're trying to balance signal quality with cost. One of the best textbooks I've ever purchased. Summary: A practical resource Rating: 5 I greatly appreciate the practicality of this book. If you can't attend one of his seminars, my recommendation is to buy this book, it will help. It's one of those that I plan to keep in the EMC lab and not just on the shelf. -doug Summary: Noise Reduction Techniques Rating: 4 There is a specific topic in this book that I have not seem covered in any of the 25+ book that I have on electromagnetic phenomena. The topic is the shield cut-off frequency of a coaxial cable. Common-mode currents at low frequencies (below a few hundred hertz) cause noise problems with coaxial cables, but signals above tens of kilohertz do not. This is vital data which is apparently not explained in many text books. For me, this topic justifies the cost of the text. Having said that, I am annoyed because the book is quite expensive relative to other books of its size and age. The point is that you have to buy it, but it is expensive to do so. Even an advanced designer will benefit from this book, although you, like me, won't necessarily want to read all of it. It is sufficient to pick and choose areas of particular interest. The less advanced designer would clearly benefit more and the book would therefore represent better value for them. Given a choice between this one and Morrison's Grounding and Shielding Techniques in Instrumentation, pick this one. This one is more technically accurate and useful. Summary: Take the course... Rating: 4 If you take the course then you get the book too. And, since Ott is a good lecturer, you will likely learn a lot more than trying to read the book. For packaging engineers like myself, this book is not worth the money. You would be better off buying Blackwell's "The Electronic Packaging Handbook" which has an excellent chapter covering all important aspects of EMC. For Electrical Engineers I suspect what you have in your "High Speed Digital Design" (Johnson and Graham) will be more than adequate. The real issue is simply too much information. I agree with Ott that some understanding of antennas is needed to understand EMC but not nearly the amount covered in this book. I think that Ott's ham radio hobby has caused him to overdo that material in this book. I highly recommend taking the course but I suspect if you buy the book you won't finish reading it. Summary: Essential reading for electronic and communications engineer Rating: 5 I bought my first copy of this essential text in 1976, and have never found a better reference source on the principles of grounding and shielding. Few engineers seem to understand the action of screened cables, especially, and chapter 2 gives an excellent introductionOtt |
