This book compiles and presents the research results from the past five years in mm-wave Silicon circuits. This area has received a great deal of interest from the research community including several university and research groups. The book covers device modeling, circuit building blocks, phased array systems, and antennas and packaging. It...
From industrial and teaching experience the authors provide a blend of theory and practice of digital signal processing (DSP) for advanced undergraduate and post-graduate engineers reading electronics. This fast-moving, developing area is driven by the information technology revolution. It is a source book in research and development for...
Verification and hence modeling are a mandatory but intricate problem for engineers
developing embedded distributed real-time systems that are entrusted with critical
safety applications like medical care, transportation, energy production, industrial
processes, military operations. Therefore, while emerging 40 years ago, first for...
There have been two paradigm shifts since we wrote the first edition of this book. The
first major shift is that the world is now full of digital signals. Commercial television
and radio have changed from analog to digital formats. Cellular telephone signals are
digital, and even video baby monitors transmit digital signals....
From one of the world's most respected authorities on precious metals investment--a thoroughly researched volume on the investment prospects for silver, the other gold.
After outperforming virtually all other investments for more than a decade, gold is being reincorporated into the financial...
To learn how to program a computer in a modern language with serious graphical capabilities,
is to take hold of a tool of remarkable flexibility that has the power to provide
profound insight. This text is primarily aimed at being a first course in programming, and
is oriented toward integration with science, mathematics, and...
The microelectronics revolution persists. Technical innovations abound,
and the performance-to-cost ratios for semiconductor devices, integrated
circuits, and systems continue to grow. Although it might be entertaining, a
historical account of the past three decades of microelectronics would
provide little direct benefit to the...
Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) processes present many changes to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit designers. One of the greatest challenges is crosstalk, which becomes significant with shrinking feature sizes of VLSI fabrication processes. The presence of crosstalk greatly limits the speed and increases the power consumption of the IC...
This book presents a thorough introduction to the Microchip PIC microcontroller family, including all of the PIC programming and interfacing for all the peripheral functions. A step-by-step approach to PIC assembly language programming is presented, with tutorials that demonstrate how to use such inherent development tools such as the...
Current and future mobile terminals become increasingly complex because they have
to deal with a variety of frequency bands and communication standards. Achieving
multi-band/multi-mode functionality is especially challenging for the radio frequency
(RF)-transceiver section, due to limitations in terms of frequency-agile RF components...
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of current and debated future networking technologies. It gives insight into building end-to-end networks and services with Carrier Ethernet, PBT, MPLS-TP, and VPLS while also shedding light on the pros and cons of these technologies for service providers and enterprise network owners.
The methodology described in this book is the result of many years of research experience in the field of synthesizable VHDL design targeting FPGA based platforms. VHDL was first conceived as a documentation language for ASIC designs. Afterwards, the language was used for the behavioral simulation of ASICs, and also as a design input for...
