The definitive guide provides a complete reference to answer the questions encountered by practicing engineers in industry, government or academia. Divided into 12 major sections, The Electrical Engineering Handbook, CRCnetBASE 1999 encompasses the entire field of electrical engineering, including: Circuits; singal processing; electronics; electromagnetics; electrical effects and devices; energy; emerging trends in the fields of communications; digital devices, computer engineering, systems, and biomedical engineering A compendium of physical, chemical, material, and mathematical data completes this comprehensive resource. Every major topics is thoroughly covered, and illustrated. Conceptually challenging but carefully explained articles will be equally valuable to the practicing engineer, researcher, and student. A distinguished advisory board and contributors, including many of the field today, assist noted author and professor Richard Dorf in offering complete coverage of this rapidly expanding field.
