+1. I'll probably buy a copy anyway (not that I need it so much anymore), but I'd like to know what has changed, what you think has improved, what you think has been missed, etc.
The 2nd edition was fantastic, but so much of the EE world has changed I think it would be hard to cover it as well as the precious edition did and still retain the same flavor and utility. I looked through the TOC a few weeks ago and still wondered the same. I know that in some (small, getting smaller) circles, the original content still pertains, but on whole, the advent of microprocessors and their respective toolchains, FPGA's and their displacement of discreet logic, and the tremendous growth and reduction in scale of all RF electronics in some ways obviate the previous text and I guess I'm wondering if those things and similar developments preclude the success of the third edition. Then again, as well as the 2nd edition did it, I have high hopes. It is a classic. Brent On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 4:31 AM, Jim Palfreyman <[email protected]> wrote: > What's been added?
