AI Thread Summary
Standard texts for various electrical engineering subfields suitable for self-study include "Designing Digital Filters" by Charles S. Williams for Digital Signal Processing and "Digital Signal Processing" by John G. Proakis for a comprehensive overview. For Control Systems, "Modern Control Engineering" and "Discrete-Time Control Systems" by Katsuhiko Ogata are recommended. Circuit Design can be explored through "Microelectronic Circuits" by Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth Carless Smith, while communications are covered in "Digital Communications" by Simon Haykin. The discussion also highlights a need for foundational texts in Embedded Systems that are not limited to specific microprocessors, indicating a gap in general theory resources for beginners.

Anyone know standard texts for the following subfields that would be suitable at all for self-study?

1) Digital Signal Processing
2) Control Systems
3) Circuit Design
4) Communications (Digital & Analog, Wired & Wireless)
3) Probability & Statistics for EE.
5) Power Systems & Machines
6) Embedded Systems
7) Robotics

The higher the number, the more I'd like to know of standard texts in that area. I'm interested in books from all levels, from introductory undergraduate to capstone graduate texts!

Thanks!

For 1) I like "Designing Digital Filters" by Charles S. Williams.
 
Thanks for that.

Particularly at the moment, I'm really looking for a good embedded systems book. My only digital hardware training was basic, and we went up to finite state machines at the end. But I'm beginning to think there is no general theory on embedded systems , since every book I look at tends to be a case study on one particular microprocessor, like the 8051 or the AVR, and I don't know what those mean. Is there a good book that starts would aid me in designing my own chips, building them, and programming them in C? Or is that not even how the field of embedded systems works?

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
