As an experienced hands-on hardware designer who possesses a lot of books that cover signal integrity issues, I find that the uniqueness of this book is that the author is able to explain very complex subjects using very clear concepts and equations. Chapters 12 and 13 were added to the original release of this book to provide key information of GHz designs. Chapter 12 describes in depth the use and interpretation of S-parameters as they apply to GHz PCB designs, and chapter 13 has an excellent treatment of the behavior, the challenges and how to overcome them to achieve a successful high-performance PDN design. I highly recommend this book for high-speed signal integrity design engineers.

I was assigned this book for graduate coursework, and it is wonderful. I have a very limited background in signal integrity, so I can say that this book should be perfect for any electrical engineer or engineering student with a couple years of standard EE coursework under their belt. It is one of those very rare engineering textbooks that actually makes you WANT to read it. The chapters more or less build upon one another well, and ideas are presented clearly and explained well. The writing style isn't loaded down with confusing explanations. The language is very straightforward and the examples are very clear. The author chooses to explain most equations intuitively, rather than bog the reader down with intense derivations. This makes the book excellent for self study. It lacks "problem sets" in the traditional textbook sense, but that doesn't take away from the quality of the material. The author also includes numerical examples in the text throughout the chapters, but the equations are so well explained that the examples aren't really necessary. How many engineering books can you say that about?

Eric Bogatin has done a great service to anyone looking to get their feet wet in the signal integrity field by writing this book. Buy it!

Have read a lot of textbooks in the field of electrical engineering in my time, and most are written by professors who can't teach their way out of a box. Eric Bogatin knows how to cut through all the BS and get right to the practical points for a practicing engineer.

I am a Japanese engineer who is dealing with high frequency such as GHz waveform.This book is very easy to read because of its plain explanations. And one more thing. Some pictures and figures are great help for me. I was looking for this kind of "practical" books. Now I am very satisfied with it.
I have two version of this book:Hardcover and kindle version.
Kindle version's pictures are full color but hardcover version is not.
(Of cource, when you read on PC or color-supported devices only.)
I hope hardcover version's pictures would be same as kindle.
