AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a specific book titled "Introduction to IC Design and Applications" or "Basic IC Theory" by an author referred to as XYZ *son, published around 1979. The book is aimed at electrical engineers, providing a physical background for those familiar with applications but seeking deeper understanding. A notable quote from the book highlights that engineers prioritize practical application over theoretical details. Another book mentioned in the conversation is "Microelectronic Circuits," which also includes some physics theory but lacks comprehensive detail. The thread seeks assistance in identifying the elusive book based on these descriptions.

Hi
I'm looking for a book of which I can't remember exactly the title or the author. It was something along the lines of

"Introduction to IC design and applications"
"Basic IC theory"

by a guy called XYZ *son, I think. It's a little black book from somewhen around 1979 or so. I remember its aimed at electrical engineers and tries to give some physical background to people who know of the applications but who wish to extend their understanding of the underlying physics.
There's a sentence in the first chapter or introduction saying something like "Engineers don't care about electrons and just want to get on with it."

Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Not really, but I know another one called

"Microelectronic Circuits"

It has some physics theory also, though not in complete detail.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
