Signal integrity has become the key issue in most high-performance digital designs. Now, from the foremost experts in the field, this book leverages theory and techniques from non-related fields such as applied physics, communications, and microwave engineering and applies them to the field of high-speed digital design. This approach creates an optimal combination of theory and practice that is meaningful to practicing engineers and graduate students alike.
This book is a bit heavier on the math and physics that underlie the fundamentals of electromagnetics for high-speed designs. It is good for those who want to dig deeper and more thoroughly solidify theory. In that sense, this book can be contrasted to popular books on these topics by Eric Bogatin and Howard Johnson. These two latter writers are good for simple and intuitive explanations. However, Hall & Heck may offer more pieces of the puzzle for a more sophisticated and robust view of high-speed digital design.
Well written book. Clear explanations. Enjoying using it as a reference book for a course. Must for anyone who wants to understand the basics of Signal Integrity.
