The Foundations of Signal Integrity is the first of itskind?a reference that examines the physical foundation ofsystem integrity based on electromagnetic theory derived fromMaxwell's Equations. Drawing upon the cutting-edge researchof Professor Paul Huray's team of industrial engineers and graduatestudents, it develops the physical theory of wave propagation usingmethods of solid state and high-energy physics, mathematics,chemistry, and electrical engineering before addressing itsapplication to modern high-speed systems. Coverage includes:

• All the necessary electromagnetic theory needed for a completeunderstanding of signal integrity
• Techniques for obtaining analytic solutions to Maxwell'sEquations for ideal materials and boundary conditions
• Plane electromagnetic waves
• Plane waves in compound media
• Transmission lines and waveguides
• Ideal models vs. real-world systems
• Complex permittivity of propagating media
• Surface roughness
• Advanced signal integrity
• Signal integrity simulations
• Problem sets for each chapter

With its thorough coverage of this relatively new discipline,the book serves as an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate andjunior graduate students, as well as a resource for practicingengineers in this burgeoning field. At the end of each section, ittypically stimulates the reader with open-ended questions thatmight lead to future theses or dissertation research.
