Synopsis

The Standard Handbook of Electronics Engineering has defined its field for over thirty years. Spun off in the 1960’s from Fink’s Standard Handbook of Electrical Engineering, the Christiansen book has seen its markets grow rapidly, as electronic engineering and microelectronics became the growth engine of digital computing. The EE market has now undergone another seismic shift―away from computing and into communications and media. The Handbook will retain much of its evergreen basic material, but the key applications sections will now focus upon communications, networked media, and medicine―the eventual destination of the majority of graduating EEs these days.

WHERE ELECTRONICS EXPERTSTURN FOR ANSWERS, INSIGHT, AND INSPIRATION

The most widely used and highly respected reference of its kind, the Standard Handbook of Electronic Engineering (formerly Electronics Engineers' Handbook) has been updated to reflect significant advances in leading-edge electronics technologies.

This new edition covers not only fundamental principles and technologies, but also the latest in hardware, circuits and functions, and applications. It is packed with new data and information on telecommunications, networking, digital signal processing, control systems, audio, video, broadcasting, and more--120 chapters in all. New chapters on instrumentation and test systems, software reliability, systems engineering and management, and automotive electronics have been added. An accompanying CD-ROM features additional reference and archival material. Organizational improvements yield a more usable, manageable resource. The Fifth Edition of the Standard Handbook of Electronic Engineering is a reference every electronics professional will want to own.
