Product Description

"Mark I. Montrose, the best-selling author of PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD DESIGN TECHNIQUES FOR EMC COMPLIANCE, now brings you his newest book, EMC AND THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD.

This accessible, new reference work shows how and why RF energy is created within a printed circuit board and the manner in which propagation occurs. With lucid explanations, this book enables engineers to grasp both the fundamentals of EMC theory and signal integrity and the mitigation process needed to prevent an EMC event. Author Montrose also shows the relationship between time and frequency domains to help you meet mandatory compliance requirements placed on printed circuit boards.

Using real-world examples the book features:

• Clear discussions, without complex mathematical analysis, of flux minimization concepts
• Extensive analysis of capacitor usage for various applications
• Detailed examination of components characteristics with various grounding methodologies, including implementation techniques
• An in-depth study of transmission line theory
• A careful look at signal integrity, crosstalk, and termination"

From the Back Cover
Electrical Engineering EMC and the Printed Circuit Board Design, Theory, and Layout Made Simple Mark I. Montrose, author of the best-selling book Printed Circuit Board Design Techniques for EMC Compliance, now brings you his newest book, EMC and the Printed Circuit Board: Design, Theory, and Layout Made Simple. This reference text shows how and why RF energy is created within a printed circuit board, and the manner in which propagation occurs. With thorough explanations, this book enables engineers to grasp both the fundamentals of EMC theory and signal integrity, along with the mitigation process needed to prevent an EMC event while maintaining optimal functionality for low - and high-technology products. Mr. Montrose also shows the relationship between time and frequency domains, helping one meet mandatory compliance requirements. Using real-world examples, this book features:

• Fundamental theory on how printed circuit boards function in both the time and frequency domains
• Clear discussions, without complex mathematical analysis of flux minimization concepts
• Detailed examination of the hidden characteristics of components
• Extensive analysis of capacitor usage and selection for various applications
• Various grounding methodologies, including implementation techniques
• An in-depth study of transmission line theory
• A thorough look at signal integrity, crosstalk, and termination

Customer Reviews

Misleading
This book is well oganized and easy to use, but the information is often incorrect. We have found it to cause more problems than solve. Paul Clayton's book come much more highly recommended.

reduce your EMI
If you are a circuit designer building a commercial product, then it is necessary to minimise the RF emissions. But many texts on circuitry gloss over the details of how to do this. Perhaps considered too uninteresting.

Montrose offers a detailed contrast. But readily accessible to anyone with an electrical engineering degree. Hence you can read tips on how to reduce the loop area on a PCB. Indeed, he suggests that you can use surface mount components, since they usually possess smaller loop area.

There are also recent innovations. Like grounding a heatsink for a microprocessor. The latest CPUs often dissipate enormous amounts of heat. But hitherto, little attention was often paid to actually grounding the requisite heatsink.

The book also devotes an entire chapter to the crucial idea of an image plane. It points out possible problems with an implementation, and how to solve these.

EMC reference book from a Guru
Mark Montrose is a well world wide known guru from the EMC techniques. In his book he has discovered some ways to do the things as 20h, or 3w rules. This book is not speciallized in any topic but it cover deeply the classical aspects of the decoupling, power distribution, grounding, shielding and the transmission lines. I think that it be should be read by everybody that deal on PCB design and hardware design.
I recommend highly as starting point in the EMC science, so it has very basic theory from the begining.
