Grounding and Shielding Techniques

Rating:
Summary: Save your money
Review: An expensive book with little meat. Whole chapters dedicated to basic electromagnetism. Nice if it was a primer on electromag but this is supposed to be a focused book.
Buy "Noise Reduction tech. in Electronic Systems" Henry W. Ott. Much better book for the money.

Summary: This book (3rd edition) is a classic source for answers.
Review: I am familiar with the 3rd edition of this book. This text is the classic text in the field, and the original source for what a lot of other authors write about grounding and sheilding. It is fairly mathematical in its approach (and hence has a theoretical rather than purely practical bias), but if you have (for example) a transmission line problem on your circuit and can't model or fix it, you will be able to get a handle on the problem using this book.

Summary: More confusion added to a confusing subject
Review: In his book Morrison says he may have gotten a few things wrong. That statement is almost the extent of what he got right. But Ott's book. You won't be sorry.

Summary: The classic text on analog grounding and shielding.
Review: The first 3 editions of this book had "In Instrumentation" in the title, the name change reflects an added focus on digital electronics, but the emphasis on analog is still there. The book was and is outstanding in its explanation of how to calculate the magnitude of interference from all kinds of external sources on analog signals between sensors and instrumentation or between instruments, and how to thus select a grounding and shielding system which meets requirements. I have used its methods to solve grounding and shielding problems many times during 20+ years as a field engineer troubleshooting new machinery control installations. It may not the best book for learning digital signal integrity design issues, but does introduce the subject clearly.
