A key issue for power electronic converters is the ability to tackle periodic signals in electrical power processing to precisely and flexibly convert and regulate electrical power.

Phase-Locked Frequency Generation and Clocking covers essential topics and issues in current Phase-Locked Loop design, from a light touch of fundamentals to practical design aspects. Both wireless and wireline systems are considered in the design of low noise frequency generation and clocking systems. Topics covered include architecture and design, digital-intensive Phase-Locked Loops, low noise frequency generation and modulation, clock-and-data recovery, and advanced clocking and clock generation systems.

A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) can be seen as a 'light-based' analogue of an electronic circuit (i.e. where functionality occurs by manipulation of light rather than electrical current). Much research has gone into this area and this well-organised book sheds light on the technology behind PICs and the capabilities of the various platforms available. It provides an engineering approach to photonic integration technologies from the fundamental concepts, through to assembly issues and the integration strategies to combine different components in a single chip.

Physics and Technology of Heterojunction Devices brings together the physics of engineering aspects of heterojunction semiconductor devices in one volume.

The aim has been to provide an up-to-date analysis of the theoretical and practical problems involved in circuit breaker design. Circuit breakers present very special design problems because of the wide mixture of experience required.
