A world-renowned authority in electromagnetic theory, Dr. Clayton R. Paul, Sam Nunn Eminent Professor of Aerospace Engineering and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, has been responsible for many seminal advancements in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). His contributions in modeling and quantifying interference on cabling between systems have laid the foundation for today's benchmark methods used for assessing and mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI) in complex wire and cable arrangements. He is professor emeritus of electrical engineering at the University of Kentucky, where he served on the electrical engineering faculty for 27 years. His course on EMC at this university was among the first of its kind. He has published 15 textbooks and more than 150 papers and reports.

A Fellow of the IEEE, Dr. Paul is the only two-time recipient of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society's Richard Stoddard Award for Outstanding Performance. He is also an honorary life member of the IEEE EMC Society.

Book Reviews

The title could equally well have been 'EMC Handbook' since the book contains a wealth of reference material on the directive, the standards, measurements and the methods which can, and should, be used to achieve compliance (IEE Review)

The writing is exceptionally clear. Even those who remain uncertain about CE marking of products should feel confident discussing it after reading this book... this book is worth the cover price for the first section alone, which is far easier to understand than much of the advice published by the Department of Trade and Industry... (Electrical Review)

Shuichi Nitta

Shuichi Nitta had been working for an electric industry as a systems engineer, a quality assurance manager in the process computer control area since 1960 after earning a BSEE from Kyoto University, and there first encountered “Electromagnetic Noise Problems.” This was in 1963 when he was engaged in the installation and tuning work of computer control systems for a chemical plant. The problems were that very low analog input signals such as thermocouples had big fluctuations due to the induced noise voltage from power lines, and thus the computer could not read the data accurately. This was the start for him to be interested in EMC. Based on the above experience, he contributed several papers written about the noise reduction methods used to solve the above problem to the Transaction of SICE, such as how to ground the shielding cables, how to locate the block switches of an analog input multiplexer, the digital filtering required using the magnetic drum and so on. And, after submitting the above-proposed technologies, he earned his PhD from the University of Tokyo in 1978. He grasps EMC as one of the technologies available to improve the reliability of electronic systems in order to maintain a stable and highly reliable life. Since moving to the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) as a professor in 1985, he still continues to research EMC problems. His research interests are immunity enhancement in systems and installation EMC, paying attention to digital systems, and reliability and maintainability of systems. To date, he has published more than 150 papers in the EMC and Reliability areas. He has been active in the following organizations: an Ad Com member of the IEEE Reliability Society (1998-1999), a general chair of International Symposium on EMC held in Japan (99’EMC/TOKYO), a general co-chair of the Asia-Pacific Conference on Environmental Electromagnetics (1997- ), a co-opted member of the CISPR Steering Committee (1998- ), a chair of the Japanese National Committee of CISPR (1998- ), a chair of the Japanese Branch of the Association for Fields Service Management International (1989- ), a general chair of the Reliability and Maintainability Symposium in Japan (2000-2002), and so on. He retired from the TUAT in 2001 and is currently a professor emeritus at the TUAT and a professor at Salesian Polytechnic since 2001. He has three daughters and three grandchildren. Professor Nitta enjoys baseball (he played baseball as a catcher in the University days), watching such sports as Rugby football, American football, and, of course, baseball, joining the Dixieland Jazz Concert, and playing with his grandchildren. He has said that it is a great honor for him to become a Board member of EMC Society and he intends to contribute to the development of EMC technologies and the IEEE EMC Society.

Interconnects in VLSI Design

Book Reviews Contributed by An information resource for Automatic Test Equipment users

This book presents an updated selection of the most representative contributions to the 2nd and 3rd IEEE Workshops on Signal Propagation on Interconnects (SPI) which were held in Travemnde (Baltic Sea), Germany, May 13-15, 1998, and in Titisee-Neustadt (Black Forest), Germany, May 19-21, 1999.

Interconnects in VLSI Design addresses the need of developers and researchers in the field of VLSI chip and package design. It offers a survey of current problems regarding the influence of interconnect effects on the electrical performance of electronic circuits and suggests innovative solutions. In this sense Interconnects in VLSI Design represents a continuation and a supplement to the first book, Signal Propagation on Interconnects, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998.

The papers in Interconnects in VLSI Design cover a wide area of research directions. Apart from describing general trends they deal with the solution of signal integrity problems, the modeling of interconnects, parameter extraction using calculations and measurements and last, but not least, actual problems in the field of optical interconnects.
