    Book SynopsisThis book provides a broad overview on the different aspects of solar energy, with a focus on photovoltaics, which is the technology that allows light energy to be converted into electric energy. Renewable energy sources have become increasingly popular in recent years, and solar is one of the most adaptable and attractive types – from solar farms to support the National Grid to roof panels/tiles used for solar thermal heating systems, and small solar garden lights. Written by Delft University researchers, Solar Energy uniquely covers both the physics of photovoltaic (PV) cells and the design of PV systems for real-life applications, from a concise history of solar cells components and location issues of current systems. The book is designed to make this complicated subject accessible to all, and is packed with fascinating graphs and charts, as well as useful exercises to cement the topics covered in each chapter. Solar Energy outlines the fundamental principles of semiconductor solar cells, as well as PV technology: crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film cells, PV modules, and third-generation concepts. There is also background on PV systems, from simple stand-alone to complex systems connected to the grid. This is an invaluable reference for physics students, researchers, industrial engineers and designers working in solar energy generation, as well those with a general interest in renewable energy.Table of ContentsI.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisElectromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues need to be an initial consideration in design and deployment of electronic transmitters or receivers, or in deployed systems containing both. This book provides methodologies for defining EMC requirements for the device, platform, site, and arena levels and techniques for performing predictions and calculations to achieve electromagnetic compatibility. While the book considers all transmitting and receiving systems and devices, it emphasizes military applications. Examples of the occurrence of electromagnetic problems are interference when devices are physically close and operating at the same, or similar, frequencies. In order to address this, the authors discuss several new approaches in mathematical development, such as the calculation of probability of interference based on frequency difference between two devices and the interference probability due to pulse to pulse interference. In theory, all the devices' parameters should be available for analysis, but in practice, missing data is not uncommon. The book aims to define default values that allow the performance of EMC analysis in cases where the data is missing, such as antenna patterns, intercardinal antenna gain and near field approximations. The treatment of EMC problems is quite mathematical and technical, but some chapters are intended for operational personnel such as system analysts, project managers and operations researchers.Trade ReviewAn excellent new reference is a recommended pick for college-level collections strong in electrical engineering and antenna design, offering engineers solid discussions of theory, applications, and different systems and their management. Uri Vered's Intersystem EMC Analysis, Interference, and Solutions considers new tools and methods for EMC requirements and techniques, including calculations, discussions of radar and communications systems, interference sources, and intersystem EMC. Techniques for performing EMC prediction and calculations key to problem-solving are essential to this book, which offers engineers step-by-step insights into EMC challenges and how they may be addressed. * Midwest Book Review *Table of ContentsDefinitions; EMC Requirements; EMC Analysis and Survey; Interference Type; Interference from Both Transmitter and Receiver; Interference from the Transmitter; Interference from the Receiver; Calculating the Received Interference Level; Interference Margin and Its Meaning; The Interference Range and the Reception Range; Propagation Models for EMC; Coupling Between Antennas; Relative Angels Between Antennas; Antenna Gain in Intercardinal Angles; Near Field; Interference Probability; Interference Probability-Antenna Patterns Aspect; Probability of Frequency Difference; Probability of Pulse Interference; Pulse Interference to Digital Communication; EMC Between Synchronous Hopping Devices; EMC Solutions; EMC Tests; Appendix-Device EMC Specifications Table.

  • A Guide to Feedback Theory

    Cambridge University Press A Guide to Feedback Theory

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisDo you need to understand feedback? Perhaps you''re a little rusty on theory basics? Dig in to this self-contained guide for an accessible and concise explanation of the fundamentals. Distills the relevant essence of linear system theory, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, basic physics, numerical methods, and complex analysis, and links them back to an explanation of feedback theory. Provides a tight synthesis of analytical and conceptual understanding. Maintains a focus on common use cases. Whether you are a struggling undergraduate, a doctoral student preparing for your qualifying exams, or an industry practitioner, this easy-to-understand book invites you to relax, enjoy the material, and follow your curiosity.Trade Review'Feedback theory is an intrinsically mathematical discipline in which one can feel either submerged by formulae or driven to use blind computer simulations that hide insight. Dawson's approach is to extract visceral meaning out of this tangle, arguing that a deep understanding of dynamic stability criteria can free the designer from 'equational overload' and lead to incisive selection of the right mathematical tool for the job at hand.' Stephen D. Senturia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'Feedback is perhaps the most foundational concept for electronics and control systems in general, but it is often covered for specific circuits for the former, and in terms of theoretical concepts for the latter. This book provides us with a unique perspective of how feedback theory in general relates to practical systems and electronics applications.' Larry Pileggi, Carnegie Mellon University'Recommended.' D. Z. Spicer, Choice MagazineTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Linear Systems: What You Missed the First Time; 2. The Basics of Feedback; 3. The Nyquist Stability Criterion; 4. Some Common Loose Ends; 5.

    Book SynopsisQuantum Phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space. They occur in a laboratory. - Asher PeresSemiconductor physics is a laboratory to learn and discover the concepts of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, condensed matter physics, and materials science, and the payoffs are almost immediate in the form of useful semiconductor devices. Debdeep Jena has had the opportunity to work on both sides of the fence - on the fundamental materials science and quantum physics of semiconductors, and in their applications in semiconductor electronic and photonic devices. In Quantum Physics of Semiconductors and Nanostructures, Jena uses this experience to make each topic as tangible and accessible as possible to students at all levels.Consider the simplest physical processes that occur in semiconductors: electron or hole transport in bands and over barriers, collision of electrons with the atoms in the crystal, or when electrons and holes annihilate each other to produce a photon. The correct explanation of these processes require a quantum mechanical treatment. Any shortcuts lead to misconceptions that can take years to dispel, and sometimes become roadblocks towards a deeper understanding and appreciation of the richness of the subject. A typical introductory course on semiconductor physics would then require prerequisites of quantum mechanics, statistical physics and thermodynamics, materials science, and electromagnetism. Rarely would a student have all this background when (s)he takes a course of this nature in most universities. Jena''s work fills in these gaps and gives students the background and deeper understanding of the quantum physics of semiconductors and nanostructures.Trade ReviewEngaging, attractively presented, and very clear.

    Book SynopsisThe first years of the company that developed the microchip and created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up.In the first three and a half years of its existence, Fairchild Semiconductor developed, produced, and marketed the device that would become the fundamental building block of the digital world: the microchip. Founded in 1957 by eight former employees of the Schockley Semiconductor Laboratory, Fairchild created the model for a successful Silicon Valley start-up: intense activity with a common goal, close collaboration, and a quick path to the market (Fairchild's first device hit the market just ten months after the company's founding). Fairchild Semiconductor was one of the first companies financed by venture capital, and its success inspired the establishment of venture capital firms in the San Francisco Bay area. These firms would finance the explosive growth of Silicon Valley over the next several decades. This history of the early years of Fairchi

Until now, the field lacked a text that described the current experimental data, applications, and theory concerning impurities in semiconductor physics. Impurities in Semiconductors: Solubility, Migration and Interactions explores the behavior of impurity atoms in semiconductors, integrating experimental data with theoretical interpretation. It presents the current literature on the state and behavior of impurities in semiconductors. The author explains the basic physics of hydrogen-like impurities to help you understand the properties imparted by these impurities. He also analyzes the macroscopic and microscopic mechanisms of the solubility, and migration of impurities and defects in the crystal lattice.
