Thank you Jerry for looking and commenting on this book. I did not know there is an excerpt (it is not shown on amazon.com listing) but, since you mentioned it, I searched for the book web site and found it (describing the noise reception by various devices) at
http://www.noisecoupling.com .
I agree the description of parasitic coupling is too detailed, but I find it interesting probably because I am still on a learning curve.
I asked for more excerpts through the contact form, and now there are 3 more posted. The third and fourth ones look like practical approaches (if you have time please give me your feedback).
You mentioned the book is self published, but I looked at the author bio and is pretty strong (Ph.D. in noise coupling at Stanford, design experience, training seminars, patents …) so I think the book has some chances to be good.
Also, what do you think about the ChipQuake simulation software that comes with the book. It has the datasheet and user guide on the web site.
