Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I recommend for serious power-electronics engineers, toobtain a copy of this excellent book, if for no other reason thanto be current on planar and integrated magnetics, to have thewinding proximity- and skin-effect loss theory worked out in oneplace for design, and on the advantageous incorporation of variableinductance in circuit design."
