Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The author has managed to succeed in writing a 'small encyclopedia of modern instrumentation' in the size of a textbook with 320 pages ... There is a vast spectrum of scientific knowledge and engineering technology included in this book ... It is a very good textbook or a reference source for a continuing education seminary and for courses to nonelectronics graduates." IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement
