The Foundations of Signal Integrity

Understanding of Signal Integrity is crucial in modern high speed applications. Based on the author's cutting edge research, Maxwell's Equations is the first book based on the electromagnetic basis of Signal Integrity rather than on empirical design. Covering all the necessary electromagnetic theory needed for a complete understanding of signal integrity, the book provides senior undergraduate and junior graduate students with a solid foundation in this burgeoning field. The book includes a problems and a solutions manual.

Paul G. Huray, PhD, is Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of South Carolina, where he has taught signal integrity, mathematical physics, and computer communications. Professor Huray introduced the first electromagnetics course to focus on signal integrity, and that program has produced more than eighty practicing signal integrity engineers now employed in academia, industry, and government. He earned his PhD in physics at the University of Tennessee in 1968, conducted research in the Solid State, Chemistry, and Physics Divisions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and has worked part time for the Intel Corporation in developing the physical basis for barriers to circuits with bit rates up to 100 GHz.
