Digital Power Electronics and Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nothing new. Just repeat from old text books under a new book heading. All theory, no practical working examples. A flop attempt in a difficult engineering area.
Th book will sell because of its name, but once you read it, you will get the same above feeling as mine.

The purpose of this book is to describe the theory of Digital Power Electronics and its applications. The authors apply digital control theory to power electronics in a manner thoroughly different from the traditional, analog control scheme. In order to apply digital control theory to power electronics, the authors define a number of new parameters, including the energy factor, pumping energy, stored energy, time constant, and damping time constant.These parameters differ from traditional parameters such as the power factor, power transfer efficiency, ripple factor, and total harmonic distortion.These new parameters result in the definition of new mathematical modeling:. A zero-order-hold (ZOH) is used to simulate all AC/DC rectifiers.. A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all DC/AC inverters.. A second-order-hold (SOH) is used to simulate all DC/DC converters.. A first-order-hold (FOH) is used to simulate all AC/AC (AC/DC/AC) converters. * Presents most up-to-date methods of analysis and control algorithms for developingpower electronic converters and power switching circuits* Provides an invaluable reference for engineers designing power converters, commercialpower supplies, control systems for motor drives, active filters, etc.* Presents methods of analysis not available in other books.

Analog Filters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this book in a course on RF analog filter design. This book is clear and concise. It doesn't shy away from math but it also doesn't fill itself up with too much content. This book emphasizes passive filter design but it does cover the basics of active filters using both op-amps and OTA-C circuits. It also makes liberal use of MATLAB which is useful for any actual implementation. The book's is best in its clear exposition. The only downside is that for all the detailed filter design I could have used a chapter on how to account for parasitics when designing with real components.

Analog Filters, Second Edition covers four major fundamental types of analog filters - passive, op amp-RC, switched-capacitor, and operational transconductance amplifier-capacitor (OTA-C). (The last of these types is the major addition in the Second Edition). The emphasis is on the fundamental principles and theory of analog filters. It is targeted toward readers in telecommunications, signal processing, electronics, controls, instrumentation, bioengineering, etc. It introduces the reader to the elegant theory in the development of analog filters. Although some of the mechanical steps for generating filters are covered, the book stresses the mathematical bases and the scholastic ingenuity of analog filter theory. It should be helpful to nonspecialist electrical engineers to gain a background perspective and some basic insight to the development of real-time filters. In many modern advances in signal processing, their concepts and procedures have close links to analog filters. The material in this book will provide engineers with a better perspective and more penetrating appreciation of many modern signal-processing techniques.Also by Kendall Su: Handbook of Tables for Elliptic-Function Filters, ISBN 0-7923-9109-8.
