Please log in for more thread options Everybody needs a good book on high-speed circuit and pcb design, except that there ain't one. One classic is Knoll, Radiation Detection and Measurement. I'm not a fan of Terman. He was pompous, and mean to the Varian brothers. Roger the two Williams books. Tuma, Handbook of Physical Calculations. Dorf/CRC, The EE Handbook, good complement to Ref Data for Radio Engineers. The Williams+Taylor filter book is a must-have. Dotto Lancaster, Active Filter Cookbook. Smith, The Scientists and Engr's Guide to DSP, readable by mere mortals. And everyone should have and read the RadLab books. Pozar, Microwave Engineering. And the soon-to-be classic, Larkin, Electronics from Scratch. John | ||||

They daughters won't likely take over, yet for all of us comes the day we want to retire or have to. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
