Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry),...

Contactless identification has now become a mature technology worldwide, and it is only in certain areas of application, such as RFID at UHF and SHF, that some finishing touches are still required. Having worked in this field for many years, I felt the need to draw up a ‘report’ on this area of UHF and SHF. Up to the present, very...

With contributions from leading experts, Microwave Photonics: Devices and Applications explores this rapidly developing discipline. It bridges a gap between microwave...

All relevant components of a mobile radio system, from digital modulation techniques over channel coding through to network aspects, are determined by the propagation characteristics of the channel. Therefore, a precise knowledge of mobile radio channels is crucial for the development, evaluation and test of current and future mobile radio...

Design an entire radio system from the ground up instead of relying on a simple plug-in selection of circuits to be modified....

The next few years will see a major revolution in the technology used to deliver television services as the world moves from analog to digital television. Presently, all existing textbooks dealing with analog television standards (NTSC and PAL) are becoming obsolete as...
