What are the best books on distributed element models for circuit design?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding quality books about distributed element models for circuit design. "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill is recommended, though it is noted that it may not cover distributed element models in depth, primarily focusing on transmission lines. Participants suggest checking the references in the linked Wikipedia article for more targeted resources. A free online textbook from All About Circuits is also mentioned as a potential resource. Overall, there is a consensus that while some recommended books may touch on related topics, they may not fully address distributed element modeling.

I'm looking for a good distributed circuits book.. Does anyone have recommendation ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I would definitely check out "The Art of Electronics" by Horowitz and Hill, it's the best circuits book I've read. It's slightly dated (second edition), though still completely relevant. Keep in mind the third edition may be coming out as early as January.

Here is a pretty good free online textbook.

What's a distributed circuit?

What I meant by that was distributed element model.

I looked into Horowitz's at amazon, but I'm not sure if it covers the topic. Does it ?

You mean like for modelling transmission lines?

And no, H&H's AoE book doesn't really cover this. There is a short section on transmission lines in the chapter on High-Frequency and High-Speed Techniques, but I don't see a distributed element approach (I only have the 1st Edition, but I doubt the 2nd Edition has much more on this).

How about the References and Bibliography at the end of the wikipedia article linked above? Would any of those books give you what you want?
 
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...
