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?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_element_model

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 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
