Hi Stephen: I think it's hard to recommend just one book, as there are a number of them, and they're all a bit different in their focus. I haven't heard of the book you mentioned, but it sounds more theoretically focused, where you seem to be looking for something that's applied. Here are a few books to consider. (If it were me, I'd just buy them all and flip through them ... They're all well written and illustrated.) [1] Lee Ritchey's "Right the First Time," Vol. 1 and 2 - Very much focused on hands on/applied design tips; well illustrated/color. www.speedingedge.com (Not much about eye diagram analysis or multi-GHz design.) [2] Eric Bogatin's "Signal and Power Integrity Simplified" - good mix of theory and practice. (Amazon.com) [3] Hall, Hall, and McCall's "High-Speed Digital Design." - Good on fundamentals; not much on Multi-GHz, as I remember. (Amazon.com) [4] Dr. Howard Johnson's "High Speed Digital Design: A handbook of Black Magic" - An old (1993) classic. Part II ("High Speed Signal Propagation") gets more into multi-GHz effects (~2003, I believe). Both incorporate a good bit of theory along with implementation tips. (Amazon.com) [5] Doug Brooks' " Signal Integrity Issues and Printed Circuit Board Design" gets into SI at a theoretical level, and is suited for bringing PCB Designers up to speed on SI.

I am an ~15 yrs ASIC Electrical Engineer (primary in digital area and small exposure to analog/mixed design) who is recently jumping into signal integrity project that will be "applying" the SI concepts on transmission line to analyze IO behavior, impedance analysis, eye-diagram analysis, dc/ac behavior of its spice simulation...etc. I am looking for an "applied" SI book that is fundamental and easy to understand for EE person like me. I found a forum that recommended this intro book: "Electromagnetics for Engineers" by Fawwaz T. Ulaby Has anybody read that book and can validate if it's a good starting point book for me? Or maybe there is a better book out there for me? Thank you very much for your help on this.
