Comparing Preece, Onderdonk, Simulation and Experimentation by Douglas Brooks, PhD and Dr. Johannes Adam Historically, Dr. Johannes Adam and I (Douglas Brooks) have looked at two sources for guidance here. W. H. Preece developed an equation in 1888 (appropriately known as “Preece’s Equation”) that tried to specify the “fusing current” as a function of conductor …
To celebrate the publication of Dr Raymond C. Rumpf’s new book ‘Electromagnetic and Photonic Simulation for the Beginner: Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain in MATLAB®’, Artech House caught up with the pioneer himself. Rumpf is dedicated to developing revolutionary new technologies in the fields of electromagnetics, photonics and 3D printing, through his company, EMLab, founded in 2010 at …
Ever noticed that your 5G signal can flicker on and off from metre to metre? It could be that you need a new phone, or, as NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) have discovered, it may be caused by the humble tree. When companies launched their 4G services around 2012, users were …
With the recent release Nonlinear Design: FETs and HEMTs, we spoke to Peter Ladbrooke to find out the motivation behind his new book with Artech House. “Nonlinear Design, FETs and HEMTs is a detailed account of how the standard non-linear circuit model of these devices can be reformed to extend its range of validity and …
Your new book, Sustainable Power, Autonomous Ships and Cleaner Energies for Future Shipping, has just been published by Artech House, what was the original motivation for writing a book on this topic? Based on my international experience, and especially at IMO, I have for a long time seen that more and more focus has …
One of the benefits of doing a blog each month, apart from helping to sell a few books is that it helps identify areas where technology is changing in interesting ways. The impact of optical technologies on radio networks is a case in point. A modern telecoms network is a complex mix of radio and …
When Traces Melt: Figures 1 and 2 (Note 1) illustrate traces on two different boards. Each figure illustrates the trace at the moment it fuses (melts) due to a significant current overload. The fusing mechanisms are clearly different. So what was different? Here is the first hint. Assume there is a current that is just …
