Preface

Purpose
The purpose of The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 2nd Edition is to provide in a single volume a ready
reference for the practicing engineer in industry, government, and academia. The book in its comprehensive
format is divided into twelve sections which encompass the field of electrical engineering. The goal is to provide
the most up-to-date information in the classical fields of circuits, signal processing, electronics, electromagnetic
fields, energy devices, systems, and electrical effects and devices, while covering the emerging fields of communications, digital devices, computer engineering, systems, and biomedical engineering. In addition, the final
section provides a complete compendium of information regarding physical, chemical, and materials data, as
well as widely inclusive information on mathematics.

Organization
The fundamentals of electrical engineering have evolved to include a wide range of knowledge, substantial
empirical data, and a broad range of practice. The focus of the handbook is on the key concepts, models, and
equations that enable the electrical engineer to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of complex electrical
devices, circuits, instruments, and systems. While data and formulae are summarized, the main focus is the
provision of the underlying theories and concepts and the appropriate application of these theories to the field
of electrical engineering. Thus, the reader will find the key concepts defined, described, and illustrated in order
to serve the needs of the engineer over many years. With equal emphasis on electronics, circuits, power systems,
instruments, materials, effects and devices, systems, and control, the engineer should encounter a wide range
of concepts and considerable depth of exploration of these concepts as they lead to application and design.
The level of conceptual development of each topic is challenging, but tutorial and relatively fundamental.
Each article, of which there are more than 200, is written to enlighten the expert, refresh the knowledge of the
mature engineer, and educate the novice.
The information is organized into twelve major sections. The first eleven sections encompass 118 chapters
and the last section summarizes the applicable mathematics, symbols, and physical constants. Each section
contains one or more historical vignettes that serve to enliven and illuminate the history of the subject of that
section. Furthermore, each section is preceded by a photo of a device, circuit, or system that demonstrates an
application illustrative of the material in the section.
Each article includes four important and useful categories: defining terms, related topics, references, and
further information. Defining terms are key definitions and the first occurrence of each term defined is indicated
in boldface in the text. The definitions of these terms are summarized as a list at the end of each chapter or
article. Related Topics are cross-references to related articles. The related topics are provided at the end of each
chapter or article. The references provide a list of useful books and articles for follow-up reading. Finally, further
information provides some general and useful sources of additional information on the topic.

Locating Your Topic


Numerous avenues of access to information contained in the handbook are provided. A complete table of
contents is presented at the front of the book. In addition, an individual table of contents precedes each of the
twelve sections. Finally, each chapter begins with its own table of contents. The reader should look over these
tables of contents to become familiar with the structure, organization, and content of the book. For example,
see Section II: Signal Processing, then Chapter 17: Multidimensional Signal Processing, and then Chapter 17.2:
Video Signal Processing. This tree-and-branch table of contents enables the reader to move up the tree to locate
information on the topic of interest.
Five indexes have been compiled to provide multiple means of accessing information. Three indexes are
listed in alphabetical order: (1) subject index, (2) index of basic equations by title or name, and (3) index of
contributing authors. The subject index can also be used to locate key definitions. The page on which the
definition appears for each key (defining) term is clearly identified in the subject index. Two additional indexes
are sequenced by order of appearance: (1) index of key tables of data or information and (2) index of key figures.
The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 2nd Edition is designed to provide answers to most inquiries and direct
the inquirer to further sources and references. We hope that this handbook will be referred to often and that
informational requirements will be satisfied effectively.

Acknowledgments
This handbook is testimony to the dedication of the Board of Advisors, the publishers, and my editorial
associates. I particularly wish to acknowledge at CRC Press Ron Powers, Publisher; Kristen Peterson, Developmental Editor; and Susan Fox, Senior Project Editor. Finally, I am indebted to the assistance of Sara Hare, who
served as editorial assistant.

Editor-in-Chief

Richard C. Dorf, professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Davis,
teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in electrical engineering in the fields of circuits and control systems.
He earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, an M.S. from the University
of Colorado, and a B.S. from Clarkson University. Highly concerned with the discipline of electrical engineering
and its wide value to social and economic needs, he has written and lectured internationally on the contributions
and advances in electrical engineering.
Professor Dorf has extensive experience with education and industry and is professionally active in the fields
of robotics, automation, electric circuits, and communications. He has served as a visiting professor at the
University of Edinburgh, Scotland; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Stanford University; and the
University of California, Berkeley.
A Fellow of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Dr. Dorf is widely known to the profession
for his Modern Control Systems, 7th edition (Addison-Wesley, 1995) and The International Encyclopedia of
Robotics (Wiley, 1988). Dr. Dorf is also the co-author of Circuits, Devices and Systems (with Ralph Smith), 5th
edition (Wiley, 1992) and Electric Currents, 3rd edition (Wiley, 1996).
