Electronic Instrument Design
provides a coherent and integrated presentation of the design process, connecting engineering principles to real applications from a systems perspective. Bridging theory and practice, this hands-on guide builds a framework for developing electronic instrumentation, from hand-held devices to consoles of equipment. It offers practical design solutions, describes the interactions, trade-offs, and priorities encountered, and uses specific details, situations, and numerous case studies as examples. The methods may be applied to single prototypes as well as to mass-produced devices. The applications are not technology-dependent, and will therefore not be outdated by the next generation of hardware or software. While the focus of the book is on projects often found in small- or medium-sized companies, many of the principles presented apply to larger projects as well.
is an ideal text for design courses in electrical and industrial engineering, and also serves as a practical guide for engineers in diverse fields.
