Description
BIRKHAUSER H-Infinity Engineering And Amplifier Optimization 2004 Edition by Jefferey C. Allen
H-infinity engineering continues to establish itself as a discipline of applied mathematics. As such this extensively illustrated monograph makes a significant application of H-infinity theory to electronic amplifier design demonstrating how recent developments in H-infinity engineering equip amplifier designers with new tools and avenues for research.The presentation at the interface of applied mathematics and engineering emphasizes how to (1) compute the best possible performance available from any matching circuits; (2) benchmark existing matching solutions; and (3) generalize results to multiple amplifiers. As the monograph develops many research directions are pointed out for both disciplines. The physical meaning of a mathematical problem is made explicit for the mathematician while circuit problems are presented in the H-infinity framework for the engineer. A final chapter organizes these research topics into a collection of open problems ranging from electrical engineering numerical implementations and generalizations to H-infinity theory.
